I hope you are correct. I see CPQ and DELL options at historic lows with respect to premiums. You can buy an April in the money call on CPQ or DELL and pay just 1 point premium. That's cheap. Why ownthe stock and risk a huge downside move when you cna pay just 1 point premium and assume all of hte upsode reward and limited downside action? I just bought 100 calls on CPQ and 50 calls on DELL.
