Well...at least I can console myself with my EGGS short. I recommended shorting EGGS at 25 as a linked trade with going long CPU. EGGS has declined 40% since then while CPU has declined 30%. My CPU long position is considerably larger, so it doesn't quite balance out, but I'm still sticking by my guns on this one and I'm buying more. Come to think of it, if the current rate of decvay holds up. CPU will be at zero within 3 weeks. Wow...I can own the whole company for nothing!!!

I agree. I doubled my CPU holding today mainly due to the large amount of cash they have. I'm currently looking for a little pop next Monday due to the first Microsoft online store opening as reported by cbs.marketwatch.com On March 8, Microsoft will officially launch its first online store where customers can order software, Microsoft Press books and hardware through one of four e-tailers: Beyond.com (BYND), CDW (CDWC), CompUSA (CPU) and Insight (NSIT)...
