An Option play on CPQ worth a second look. This play is based on the idea that the merger is approved, and the resulting price change in CPQ. 1) Buy some CPQ's July 12 1/2 (CXQGV) .45x .65 At todays HWP closing price CPQ is worth 12.50.... This option play has two elements that could make it a winner. 1) A reason for a price increase 2) enough time for it to play it out. Gottfried might again graph the price discrepancy between the two as it relates to shares traded for any given day. Jerome
