Hi Lisa, I have no idea. My 'feel' is that they are mostly buys based on the strike and volume. BWDIK. kw.

**CPQ** I was doing a little looking today and ran across an interesting trend within the last month with CPQ. It is trading between 66 and 60-62 very consistently. My idea is easy and maybe profitable. It looks like to me that for a few more weeks CPQ will continue in this trend barring some huge news, it is a happy camper at these levels. Why not sell calls at 66'ish and puts at 62? (edit) Just a thought.. How are your OEX's doing? I am rooting for the three of you. I was thinking as I worked today that Patrick's view on manipulation cant be totally correct. How would MM's go about stripping premiums, by selling? I couldnt see how a maker could literally strip the premium, it sounds like against a rule to do that. But of course how do I know, I would like concrete opinion.. I think my CPQ analysis works for alot of the tekkies.. Dell, INTC etc.. Regards E
