Jimbo: I have never shorted CPQ. While we are comparing notes, I notice that on the NETP thread yesterday you say that NETP is no longer a sure thing. You were urging everyone on the CPQ thread to buy it a month or so ago at $34 (it is now $16 having been to $15). I also notice how dismissive you are on the NETP thread of LPGL which you were urging everyone to buy at $37 (and it is now $19). Also notice that you did not reply to Bretsky's question on the NETP thread about your CPQ holdings - last time you mentioned it you had bought at $35 and were holding. Since you think CPQ is falling to pieces and going to the teens very soon (which is what you said on the JIMBO Playhouse thread yesterday) have you sold CPQ and are you shorting it?
