>>Lets see, 10,000 shares. May 27.5 Calls @ $1. $10,000 for 6 weeks. (Plus difference between buy and $27.50) Am I missing something here?<< I would not advise you to make this trade. You loose all upside potential for CPQ. What if CPQ is trading at $30 come May? Also, factor in that $10,000 is peanut change for someone who owns 10,000 shares. Why forfeit potential profits? -Eddie

Mike, Yes, you are missing April announcements. Not all cost are below 27.5. Current option positions. Long term out look. After April announcements, I will make evaluation on stock and option positions. I have learned to be conservative prior to announcements. NW Having a problem with PC at home. Have a dial tone on telephone, but computer won't recognize it. Have checked COM !, and COM 2. Have the correct COM line. Telephone wire OK. Correct Modem driver. Correct modem on AOL. Any ideas out there?
