<<<<What happens, would be venture to estimate, if the bull years of

Thats the $64 question:
Dell could go flat or down for 3 mos,6,mos, two years
1. Could stay out of equities, buy bonds and lose out to inflation.( not my choice)
2. Can buy Dell and watch it double in one year, quadruple in two years. Then if market tanks and goes down 50%,you still have a 'double' and can ride out the storm much richer than your neighbor
The worrisome thing is short term tanking.which has always been present in equities market and specific stocks even on a daily basis. We seem to have had one last week, the greatest one-week tanking in Dow history, yet most Dell holders survived(I hope).
Can handle those by staying generally long term(buy and hold), with buying done when stock appear to be down or flat.
Confine options plays to match your desired excitement level
and what you can afford to lose. Very useful in learning the performance of a stock. Some unforgettable experiences
available there, both up and down(Hehehe) Dell puts are very risky, poisonous to bears.
