"Would you short CPQ" i generally don't short stocks because brokers don't pay interest on the proceeds of the short sale. instead they get the interest. also i would not sell the calls naked. limited profit and potential for a large loss if you are wrong. i do already own puts on cpq and that is play you might want to make if you think compaq is headed down the tubes. i believe there is more to the story. one bad, or even two bad quarters, should not have caused the dismissal. hewlett packard, for example, had a lot more misses than compaq. regards
