Re Nov Options
<<<Absolutely beautiful performance Tell us more!>>>
Well thanks,Don.I only know the options plays of one or two other people so have no way of knowing whether it is good or bad.
My broker thought it was good,as I said in a PM.
Various comments on the thread,and even by the broker have said that 8 or 9 of ten options expire worthless.I did not find that to be true, except when first learning.
I tend to buy option strikes just a bit higher than the stock price
which makes them expensive, a lot of them around 2 to 8 ,with
perhaps $10 average since the Dells cost ~15to 22. But the stock only has to rise a relatively small amount to make them good and being far out, has months to do that. Dell does not have a problem(Haha)
I consider any leaps to be an investment on a solid company ,rather than a risk bet to be sold early so will hold them a long time.
My spacebar has problem so,will stop here.FWIW,these are my present holdings
