Wow, Leo. Who'd uh thunk it? You, short DELL? Are you still long CPQ? I think you ought to get some relief Mon, but when does the split actually happen -- could be another leg up. That would be the time to short or buy puts -- BWDIK. Look at the run MSFT had. See the dip just prior to the actual split, then the U-turn back up? Maybe DELL's already gone too stratospheric for that, but these are crazy times, eh?
