Barry, re Is anyone on this thread buying here? I'll admit I bit some Jan 60 calls today..pd $4 and $3 5/8. These calls are my only positions in CPQ right now..I've twice in the last month bought calls when CPQ hit $58, then sold when CPQ rebounded to $65 area...but those were Dec. calls. I feel like even though CPQ could go lower (it can always go lower), since these are Jan calls I at least have some breathing room. I'm confident that CPQ is making all the right moves in both the desktop and notebook areas, more so than any other PC maker. According to the WSJ article now at the WSJI site, sub 1K PCs now make up over a third of PC sales worldwide. And guess who is leading the charge? -G- DK
