Peter, if you REALLY believe you're right - short CPQ for a 16 point run. At a price of 42 the P/E will be considerably less than the market average. That would be unremarkable except you are talking about a tech powerhouse who is a target market segment leader. Does it seem reasonable for a market-leader, blue chip stock to lose virtually half of its market cap within 30 days of announcing upside surprise earnings, declare a cash dividend, and announce a stock split? I don't think so. If you really want to short, I think I'll gamble and take the opposite side of the transaction. But, best of luck to you, whatever happens.
