I bot a huge boat load of March CPQ options friday @close, I intend to double my money (atleast), in 3 wks. If I don't, then I loose it all. I was thinking of buying both call/put (straddle) that way I can make money on both sides so if the stock goes up I may buy puts. Lets not forget to make money while we are watching the market. All in the IRA ofcourse, we don't like to share with Uncle Sam. <GGG> G for Greedy. Dow will pull back again if cpq dives to 30, i pick up more. This market very powerful and will go much higher then what Abbey says (8-10%). Asian TURMOILL IS THE BEST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR PORTFOLIOS else we would be looking at heated economy and scared to death of inflation.

John, Good points. I just started following this stock recently as I thought maybe it now has a gem of a service co in DEC that it may have lacked before. Since I got into it, the only news that really had it clobbered was the SB bozo's comment. Thanks for the useful info. I was thinking of buying more, but now I will hold off. I appreciate your thoughtful response. Could it also be that CPQ is so hard up in being a 50 billion co by year 2k that they may be losing sight of what will get them there in the first place? Just a thought. peacelover
