Good luck to you. Don't hold your short position too long...losses are limitless on short positions.

VinMan...I've followed you and your mistakes on SI for a while. Let's see if you can make another one. Where will you cover your short? I haven't heard of another two quarters of breakeven. Where does that come from? Why do you have to invent news to make your case?

IMHO, bad time to short CPQ. Bad news already factored into stock. This stock isn't making any new highes like HP. Completion of DEC merger should give us a nice bounce upwards. Historically, market and CPQ makes large gains during summer.

Maybe a quick short will be profitable, but a long one??? I wouldn't bet on it.
