<<I would not count on buying calls for a couple of months.>>
Buying Dell calls a loser for me last 17 months so I haven't bgt many. Not worth messing with, unless one has a more exotic system for using them.(like yours)
Next best chance is Feb 2001, which is Feb 17 so may be too close to earnings to profit by a good report. But I have some 45's although its not for serious money. They only cost about 3.50 and I would like just one time to steal some $$$ from the %&^&$ bears.
I do much better with other tech stocks.
Overall, the farther out (in later months) that I buy calls, the better chance they have. So I end up trading a lot of Leaps -on TXN, on NT, on SUNW etc.
Now you know this is not easy, Dell can blow sky high in Nov and Dec,which are typically good months, so this is just one man, one voice, one vote, and could be wrong. Why are we doing this?. I may be down, but could still be sitting on an island ,a small one now instead of a big one. Or learning to play golf.
I looked a a 1991 used MBZ diesel Sunday, was ready to pay cash but the owner did not have the title. Amazing, the credit union in Georgia had the title. How can you sell a car without a title.? Big deal. Decided I did not need
the car- a new engine would cost $12k. Be happy with the 3 I have, a blue '79, a grey '81, and white '82. $1500 would be enough to re-build any of the engines in those. They sometimes need it after about 350,000 miles.
Jan has hired her own personal trainer. But its lady, not one of those young 'hunks'. We are up $21K for the week. So why do I have to fix old cars.? Why?
