[qntm vs. wdc]

Another reason qntm is stronger than wdc is that for the last two quarters, wdc fell short, missed by a penny two ago, and missed big (but beat the downward guidance by a penny) this last time. qntm beat both times. I suppose that's worth a bunch to the street. I'm long wdc, and intend to split my position 50-50 qntm-wdc when the arbitrage ratio swings favorably to do that.

BTW I'm sure glad to see Steve Goldman here!

Tom - I've been fairly conservative in the last couple of weeks. Bought a bit of CPQ and COMS. I try to pick long term and not sweat the ups and downs.

QNTM is definitely interesting. A previous poster is splitting 50-50, might be a good idea.

Thanks, Peter
