Well well well. Looks like CPQ is going to close unchamged after being down for most of the day. Interesting. Does this end of day buying mean we will be up in the morn? jb

my DEC jan 99 40 calls were converted 1 for 1 into CPQ (DEYXX) calls their value is calculated as: 1 dec share= 30$ + 0.945 (or similar) CPQ shares. so when dec stock was 60$, dec jan 99 40s (DECAH) were 20$ in the money DECAHs got converted into DEYAHs one for one. now each DEYAH is worth 30$ cash and 0.945 CPQ shares so, if cpq is 43$ it is like if DEC shares would be worth each 30$+0.945*43$ = 70.635$ plus some time value, that is each DEYAH should be 70.635$ - 43$ = 27.635$ in the money. I think that if/when i'll exercise the options i will get 30$ cash and 0.945 whatever CPQ. now, what should i do with my contracts? i think it would be good to exercise the DEYAH (99/40) and get CPQ stock for about 10$... and sell the DEYAL (99/50) and DEYAJ (99/60) b. and sell the DEY
