LG and All--Dell has split about seven times in the last five years. I was wondering if anyone knows where one can learn the magnitude of the splits. Does anyone out there know how I can find out if these were 2/1 or whatever splits?

Interestingly, the post split price of Dell's stock in 1995 looks like it was $1-$2. This turkey has to get shot down soon. Given all the shenanigans that Fleck was talking about in "Contrarian Rap," they are well deserving.

That brings me to my second question. On the options front, what is an appropriate strategy for playing the nuclear winter to occur? What I am talking about here is the timing of options put purchases. Would we want January, February, etc. options of would we simply want to roll forward as we progressed through time.

Since we won't be learning about earnings again until January, I'm thinking we would want options deeper into 2000. However, there is the warnings season and if it is really getting cold out there, a number of companies would likely preannounce difficulties.

I'm thinking about risking $10-$20 thousand on the chance that that a nuclear winter hits big. Any help on how to optimally play this with options is appreciated.

TIA (Thanks in Advance)
