JDN-- Sounds like you are very happy with your new friend. I hope he gives you many years of enjoyment,, he is a lucky guy too... <<"and at the moment I dont care what happens to CPQ's stock price.">> Me either, I have so many gains this year, all ST, that unloading a little at any price helps my tax bite and does not bother me... I hope for the best from it -- but after all this is CPQ and ANYTHING can happen (and has)... Actually -- the fed, state, and local taxes on these gains approach 40%. So CPQ would need one hell of a run in the very near future to off set that plus (hopefully) gains aquired from that purchased from the new cash,, hell even the money mkt at 5% and cpq would need a huge jump to get near the return,,,
