RE: Buying DEC vs. CPQ. When you buy 100 shares of DEC at 60 for $6000 and CPQ moves up a point, you make $100. If you had bought 200 shares of CPQ for that $6000 and CPQ moved up 1 point you would have made $200. With DEC you are buying $30 of cash, which is not supposed to go up. You obviously also leverage the downside with Compaq. The advantage to owning DEC is the possibility of a higher bidder, as I noted in the previous note. Buyer Beware. I holding options, and am comfortable with them as they are. gd p.s. no spell check this time
