SHORT ON TDC ON SENSELESS RUMOR FOR A SHORT TERM TRADE

August 26, 2010

We are short on Teradata (TDC) from $31.55. The stock has been running up on the rumor Mark Hurd will be named CEO of the company. Hurd was CEO of NCR before he was picked by Hewlett-Packard Company. TDC, a data warehousing vendor, was spun off from NCR. None of ZYX Change Method screens are supportive of this run up

The rumor makes no sense. TDC has a well entrenched CEO and the stock has performed well. Moreover, TDC is not in the need of cost cutting which is hallmark of Hurd. We have taken only 5% of the full position due to high potential M&A risk .

We will add to the position through options to limit risk. This is a short term position, we will not hesitate to take profits on the first sign of bouncing from the technical support.

HPQ, NCR, TDC
