Re Dell selling PUTs and buying CALLs... I believe this is called a "synthetic long" pair of option transactions. Interesting how in mid April I flagged a similar pair of transactions in CPQ for 50,000 shares... selling the JAN 2004 10 PUTs at $2.00, and buying the 15 CALLs at $.95. Works well in a rising market, but it is an enforced buy if the stock falls below strike minus premium.

I wonder why the smart guys at DELL didn't buy their way out earlier.
