MeDroogies....Long Shot for CPQ.... While we are waiting for the gap between CPQ and HWP to close, some cheap options for CPQ should be looked at. My assumption here is that the rally continues into Nov and Dec. and that HWP moves with the tech rally. The options I like are the CPQ Jan. 12.50's (cpqav) that are .10 by .25. I would place a GTC order at .15 or .20.... This could be throw away money, so limit the number of contracts to expect a total loss. If CPQ gets to 11 in the next few weeks these will be worth .60 to .80. This is not a bet that CPQ gets above 12.50. Note: I'm long CPQ and a lot of options at various prices. Its been my experience that just as soon as I'm ready to toss in the towel on a position it will start to rally. And if I sell out the stock will rally immediately. I'm ready to sell my CPQ position. (gg) OT: Your views on Jewish female friends are interesting.....note I have never won argument with an older Jewish or non Jewish woman...that's why I'm taking out my mule Blossom for an afternoon ride today instead of some well preserved 40 + female. (no offense meant to older women...I just tell the truth) Regards, Jerome
