Perhaps this is why CPQ's been having a tougher time of it than DELL this past month or so...

From the last paragraph at hamquist.com

While we expect the near-term trading environment for many PC-related stocks to remain choppy -- due to ongoing concerns about demand, pricing pressure, and inventory levels -- our longer-term outlook remains positive for the industry leaders. Dell Computer Corporation remains our favorite PC name, and Ingram Micro and Tech Data Corporation remain our favorite channel names.

I agree. Instead of cashing in on some deep-in the money TDM Jan 20 (Tandem) options I converted them on friday to CPQ shares and plan to write covered calls at the 65/70 strike price and hope to generate some cash flow.
Still kicking myself for not getting out of CPQ Jan 70 calls at 50% loss when I had a chance three weeks back and let them expire worthless to a 100% loss.
