HWP.. I would not, could not, dare not hold HWP long or short THROUGH earnings but HWP was pulled up in the last few days and I think its more of a psychological short. DELL was actually DOWN in the last few days pending the earnings report as was QLGC. But for HWP it has already run up on anticipation which included a fair amount of 'wishful thinking' (hoping it will do another 'DELL" dance) and that the nasdaq was coming back as before. This is where the contrarian comes in. If I can get 4 points out of HWP short, I will have considered it a good trade. If HWP decides to move up on Monday, Tuesday, I get stopped out and concentrate on another stock in this sector that might move with any good news on HWP.. Why not go to the source and get HWP call options? The risk is too great on holding such a high profile stock through earnings, whether long or short. I got a good deal out of the DELL report by holding other stocks and if I'm stopped out I'll change my colors really quickly.
