The stop loss is to protect one from any considerable decline in DELL. If I sell and buy puts than I am banking on DELL's decline. Why would I want to do that when this stock is clearly on an uptrend?

Perhaps I misunderstood your post. The message I replied too mentioned nothing about Puts. I thought you were referring too Stop Loss. My
point was simply to demonstrate the miserably luck I have experienced
using stop loss orders. So now, I don't use them at all. If I feel my stock will decline substantially I sell it. I keep my Dell stock in my
Roth IRA. Since I have no tax consequences there is no motivation to hold in the face of a downturn.

Don't misunderstand , I am not implying that to be the present scenario. These Bears used to really get under my skin. But now I find them very entertaining.

Best regards..

Donald
