Herm, quick question. Bought 5 Sept 20, XIRC for 7/16 - 8/18 when price was 23 9/16. Today the puts where worth $2, stock price at 15 5/8. Nice gain, thank you!!!!!! 1. Should I hold out for a bigger drop?? My plan was to unload the puts when the stock price got in the $15's, however I was figuring the puts would be worth more than $2 if the price ever got to 15. Was I kidding myself?? Thanks a bunch, Bill/WA ps did you ever get my Email - have you ever been to the Sailfish Marina??

Herm, I'm not sure I understand this one: BEAR TRAP BODY COUNTS! CPQ bigcharts.com. TIMBER! Plenty of baby fat on CPQ! The knife is barely started cutting! NYSE: (CPQ : $27 15/16)$42,392 million Market Cap at August 31, 1998 Ranks 55th in the Fortune 500 on Revenue & 59th on Profit. Employs 18,865. Trades at a Premium PE Multiple of 58.3 X, vs. the 22.7 X average multiple at which the Computers SubIndustry is priced According to the chart you posted, CPQ tagged the lower BB and the RSI was low, almost in the 20's, and starting to climb again. Wouldn't that signal an upswing according to WINS? Thanks, Joe
