Hi Kemble: After talking to broker all is calm at the office, lines and access are working, not particularily busy. He retains total confidence in Dell, advises 12 month outlook. In regard to a crash, investors outlook remains incredibly positive in USA, with business as usual. I remain totally aginst stop losses to try to protect Dell gains, for example when it opened around 71 this morning she is all gone, and it is now back up to 79 . I've been there in the past, done that,don't want any part of it. To avoid a potential of having to sell Dell, I have gone to the puts at a price between 1/2 and $4, and will probably henceforth keep a few of those around(protection only) Good luck, and stay with it .
