Now Jim, let's be totally honest. This post said you 'might have lost a little'! Remember those 10k shares you bought 'just before' Dell's earnings came out. Now, if you tell me you hedged them immediately I'll believe you, otherwise a 'small white lie' is okay!! <ggg>
Regards, John

Elwood,
Thank you for your concern. Sometimes, I lose a little money. 10K shares is actually a very small number of shares for me. My core position in DELL has been hedged since DELL was at 108+ per share. When I buy back those options, I will make another fortune this year.
I make money whether the DELL goes up or down or stays at the same price. I just make it off of different aspects of my DELL positions.
Gloat not over me for I have not suffered at all.
Cheers <g>

Jim.... you must be underwater about $120k on that 10,000 share position you took about a week ago when you were in Vegas. El To: zalesky (98570 ) From: jim kelley Saturday, Feb 13 1999 3:32AM ET Reply # of 102294
Zalesky,
I am in Las Vegas tonight. When I heard the news of DELL's demise I was elated. I watched CNBC until I heard that they had asked Ekhard 5ffer to comment on DELL's situation. I immediately called my broker and bought 10,000 more shares.
