re The total value of all the MAY options at today's 86 5/8 is huge. Looks like big pressure may come from the options writers to try to lower the price. How might the options writers go about exerting pressure to lower the price? I came up with the following possibilities: 1) Go to the various investment forums (like this one) and attempt to sow FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt). IMO, difficult to do on a thread as knowledgeable as this one. 2) Start rumors on the street. Investors are getting better at discerning rumor from fact, but it may be able to effect a minor dip 3) Try to place 'negative' opinion articles in widely-read investing publications. Knowledgeable investors are becoming much more capable of recognizing opinion from fact 4) Massive short selling at market. Very dangerous, especially in pre-earnings time frame. Could very well end up in compounding losses, and would require significant amounts of margin. Considering DELL's float and number of daily traded shares, might be very difficult to accomplish. Any other ideas? 3 (PS -- trying to buy 400 more today)
