RBL,
I'm watching the action. I understand the overweighting problem. I have it with CPQ.

I'm sitting tight right now. No telling where this market is headed. I think the interest rate fear is over done at this point in some issues.

I did the math on trading a few CPQ shares for ELBO shares. Right now my target prices yield almost the same profits without considering time or taxes. If CPQ has a nice pop and ELBO stays in this range, I'll probably do the trade.

I hate to say it, but if ELBO hits the 12 to 13 range, I'll be buying on margin and selling CPQ later. I hate margin, but I also hate missing a bargain. This stock should be $25 in a bad market and $30+ in a good market.

RBL, NW, Mad, etc just wanted to let you know I'm still long, just been a bit quiet of late. I'm also back into an overweight position on ELBO. Not exactly sure what's causing this fire sale (seems to be a few potential factors at play) but at less than .5 PEG and an easy double to a "conservative" price obj it's too good to pass up.
Thanks as always for the insightful posts,
TJ
