< made money on Dell calls AND puts..not as a protection for the
stock. but as a straddle>
Then if the stock price goes up( as hoped for), the call goes up in value and makes up for the decreased value of the put. Or a least most of it., and so the price of the insurance is much less.
That seems more digestable to me, as I would tend to write off any long term Dell puts as pure loss.
