Good luck guys; I'm out at 9 5/8. I almost fainted this morning when I saw the stock trading at 10. I placed a sell limit at 10, but by then it had fallen back. With the tender offer at 10.10/share, I was surprised that it traded as high as it did, as I don't think anyone else wants to fight Slim for the company. I changed my limit order to 9 5/8. Of course, after that it traded as high as 10 1/8, so if I'd had a little more patience I could have had my 10/share. Oh, well, it's only money. I'm quite happy being out at 9 5/8, rather than sitting on the stock at 5, and wondering how long it would take Halpin to drive it into the ground. I put my CPU proceeds into ELTX.

Maybe this explains it better: Monday January 24, 7:52 pm Eastern Time FOCUS-CompUSA buy is e-commerce move for Mexico's Slim ...................snip..................... Sanborns' full-cash tender offer is to buy all outstanding shares of CompUSA, and the company expects Telefonos de Mexico (Telmex) (NYSE:TMX - news), Microsoft Corp. (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news), and SBC Communications Inc. (NYSE:SBC - news) to join as minority investors. Sources close to the deal said the minority shareholders would take a 49 percent stake by joining in the financing for the tender offer, which is expected to begin next week and will likely take a month to complete.
