Frank-Welcome back. Maybe if the market continues its upward trend you can begin a permanent vacation, or at least devote full-time to your music. Here is a post to Brian Malloy with an article from Briefing.com re: CPQ. I guess you won't see it until later today. billwot

Hello Frank. Welcome back. You are right. Intel is not suffering this morning and LU is hanging in there. But AOL is taking a nose dive again on the news that some Mutual funds have taken some profit in it. I don't know why this would rile investors like this. Mutual fund generally can own only so much of a stock and AOL has probably got way too big for them. They still holding it. Most the good internets are being thrown out with the bath water just to get some cash to get those long ignored laggards. I am not buying into this new wave yet. Some of those cos. had good earnings but I want to see it industry wide. Defense stocks should be moving with us depleting our stock piles. Yes, CPQ IS a big disappointment for me. I still think that Pfeiffer put CPQ on the map but I guess his eyes were bigger than his stomach. He touted too much and then let us down sev. times. This last time around I was pretty disturbed about it myself. I guess the company is trying to get back into good grace with Wall Street by firing Pfeiffer. Who knows what will happen now to his vision of being a 50 bill. company by the year 2001. I may have forgiven him one more time. He did come forward and say he would work better with the STREET on the cos. prospects. He was a very visible CEO but I guess it's history now. CPQ may be in the doldrums for a while and I can't afford to wait and see what will happen next. That's the downfall of being heavily margined. So I sold my CPQ this morning at a loss. But I will keep an eye on CPQ. Do you still own MO? I hear and read that it will suffer with all this stuff going on. Suits are being won. Big awards being given, even though it always gets reduced. Talking about suffering. It's already at a low. Sonny
