El, Just checked ot Max Pain graph. Max pain for CPQ is $45. This appears to leave just about all CPQ calls sold worthless. Appears total calls are worth about $200,000,000, and puts about $50,000,000. IMHO Based on this, CPQ might not have a lot of option pressure tomorrow. Not a lot of option buyers exercising and selling. NW

El, Triva for the day. Spoke to my new broker about what to do if the account gets transferred to him next week while I am gone. He noted my CPQ shares and puts. (I'm buying if the shares are put to me at some nice net prices) Broker said they were hoping to get AV shares spinning off to share holders. I said I was hoping to buy AV shares at IPO price. Broker said they are looking for IPO to public with other shares spinning off to share holders. I like his expectations. He likes the idea of buying any shares put to me. He doesn't think the shares will be put to me though. They like CPQ! Hang in there, we are going to 60PAQ this year!!! NW
