Responses: Copia - right on Joe, for Pennies Its in the 100k range for large blocks. Calvin - nope, 1.5 billion/million/or thousand doesn't really bother me. Short term/intraday prices fluctuate by the volumes, but larger movements have to do with more fundamental factors. Andy - Let me answer that another way. Calls are good things. April is a nice month. And 25 is a pleasing number. Why don't I buy calls? If I can accumulate a large block or more, I plan to sell incrementally (in 2k shares) at opportune times when the stock gaps and rebuy at corrections. Its a large and risky play, but for a stock like CPQ at its present price, not without substantial reward. Besides, options are for folks smarter than I. lastshadow
