Jim - Assuming the buyout is approved, what are the DEC shareholders going to do with the cash and CPQ stock? Will they sell or double up? I think much of the shorted CPQ is probably DEC shareholders who intend to use their CPQ shares to close their short positions. Since this is a buyout the DEC shareholders will have to pay cap gains tax so this may reduce some buying by individual investors. The mutual funds don't pay cap gains so they may double up with the cash they get Approx 10% of CPQ shares and enough cash to buy another 10% will be placed in new hands. Jerry
