Anyone knows the cause of the late selling in CPQ today?

Is that because traders don't want to have a open position over the weekends?

FYI - 18 months is the new long term capital gains rate at 20%. 12 months to 18 is now termed mid-termed.

You just shor the same amout of stock in the market against your stock option and use the cash in your account to buy the same amout of stock
which you short. With this arangement, you do not have to sell your
stock option .Technocally this can be done without selling you option,
but pratically I do not know if the agent will let you do this!!!!
