Hi, Joe & Freeus. Sold 1/2 my position today to lock in profits; think CPQ will tub the market Monday AM, and I hope to buy back in. NITE is too compelling a story to not buy back.

Freeus: If you procrastinate any longer, they are libel to make a soap opera out of this.

Joe: CPQ is the only company with worse management than MO. Move on.

And, please be advised that MY kids used all the 2-for-1 coupons from McDonalds, so both you guys are SOL. Regards,

Sleeper

OT
The moral of your story is:if you have a gain on a company that consistently disappoints shareholders, take it and run! (Buy
DELL VVVVBG).
But we dont know yet with NITE: its too new. The fundamentals are great and the news (so far) is great. I'm afraid that should I re cover with calls (at ANY price) Nite will announce a split and it wil split at 90, i.e. 45 each and then promptly go back to 80 or 90.
Sooo......I 'm going to take my chances for now.
Maybe I'll be sorry but I dont think so.
I already used the mythical coupons for a burger and fries : their new fries almost rival McDonalds.
Sorry (VVVVBG)
Best wishes for an up week next week!

have a similar story on CPQ. Bought a bunch of July 50 calls at 6 3/4. Today they are worthless.
Thankfully bought NITE at 52 and am holding. It makes the pain of CPQ somewhat bearable. CPQ will never see one of my dollars again. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.

Go NITE
