From CPQInvestors contributor brian_cranston:

CMGI plans to file for Altavista IPO in October, and hopes to have it happen in January.

another reason to be bullish on CPQ in Jan.

CPQ owns 17% of AV, and 18% of CMGI, which owns 83% of AV... 18% of 83% = 15%, so CPQ in effect owns 32% of AV.

if AV IPO's at $5 billion (wild guess, but seems reasonable)... 32% of that is $1.6b 'unlocked' for CPQ.

combined with seasonally strong Q4, benefits of the restructuring beginning to take effect, etc... the stars seem to be lining up.

either the Jan 25's or Jan 22 1/2's are looking good.


ADD to this the increase in mkt_cap value and imminent price rise of CPQ's share of CMGI as a whole and $$$$$ !!
