Mo..... Wondering if you still have a small position in CPQ. Haven't seen you on the thread in a long, long time. I'm thinking that CPQ shares may be able to double over approximately the same time period that it takes DELL shares do so from here. Any thoughts??? I'm certain that you've done well with your DELL position. Congratulations! El

Mohan-san: there two types of running back in the NFL. One that is just runs straight forward and overpowers the defenders, just like Jerome Bettis. The second one is making the elusive moves, running sideways, eluding tackles etc, a la Barry Sanders.

-Buy and Hold in Dell reminds me of the straight runner. You and Kemble are happy with it. You don't lose any sleep with Dell.

-Option players use fancy moves. They are profitable too. Sometimes they make more than the B&H in the short run, and sometimes they lack behind. They have sleepless nights especially if extended on the margin account.

Both strategies are OK. Just how risk tolerant one is.

BTW: According to Bewster dictionary, the word Con-fuse comes from Confucius; it evolved from Con-fuse-us. VBG
