harkenman and all, Let me repeat for all that may have missed it. Keeping DEC shares only makes sense if you think the price CPQ is paying may be re-negotiated higher or that CPQ is due to fall (in that case sell both). DEC is fixed to the CPQ price so you are more leveraged on the way up with CPQ shares (unfortunatly on the way down too). It could have the added benefit of shielding you from a meltdown if the takeover deal falls through though. Read: Message 3270316 for the math. Think about it. Let me know if I am not making sense. As a disclaimer, I only hold April 50 calls I bought for $2 which I locked in $7 profit with some Feb. 60 puts (to protect against a major pullback), but if I had held DEC common, it would have been CPQ right after the announcement. gd
