[ASYT] 4 weeks of singing bedtime lullabys, it makes it's move. Watching ASYT move in a 2 point range for 4 weeks had made me realize that watching grass grow is not so boring, afterall. ff4.quote.com Not certain where this move will end up, but I'm holding for an eventual move to 30-33 area. X

V, Regarding getting back into CPQ around 25 1/2 today...I didnt as I was working at the office. Besides, I couldnt buy CPQ today until I was out of CYMI (which I still own). As it stands right now, I will be exiting CYMI tomorrow, for a 17% gain in a day usually signals the exit sign the following trading session. I expect a 5% or more pullback in CYMI tomorrow am, but what do I know. The shorts could all panic at once and she could instantly trade well above $24/sh......doubtful but stranger things have happened. Anyway, I am very interested in climbing aboard CPQ. I traded her for 1/2 pt the other day...from 25 1/2 to 26, although I could have bailed at 26 11/16ths if I had the kahoona's...didnt and got stuck with a mere 1/2 pt. CPQ looks good and steady at 25 1/2...a decent base. Hopefully there will be further positive news regarding the DEC aquisition. It has been my experience that when there is an acquisition of such magnitude, usually the company being aquired fairs better than the one doing the aquiring. So, it is this man's opinion that DEC may be the better play. Granted she's 2X the price and trades at 1/10th the volume.....just food for thought. Technically both charts seem to be venturing in the same direction, although CPQ's downside risk is much much less. Let me know what you think girl friend. Boi
