<<< Like playing with house money now. >>> Since I don't have an(income producing) job, I've played with house money since June of 1997. Have been fortunate to be constrained from selling Dell stock by the tax considerations. I seldom even think about it now, so one less worry........ Best I can do today is reshuffle assets from one 'play' stock to another or reinvest options as they come due. This week I need to decide when to cash out or roll the Jan options on LU,Athm,Orcl,Amzn,lycos,Qwst,and Dell. I am expecting( hoping for) another 6 points on Dell this week. So in the case of Dell, the Jan 70's calls cost $2, are now $8, could become worth $12. I may settle for a bit less on 1/2 of those, and place an order to sell at about $10, then keep the others till Friday. So will be busy(hehe) Thanks for commenting on Athm on the thread, the Athm calls have gone from $7 to $31. (notice that I seldom talk about losers, but with the market going up there aren't many(G) I'll wager we can't buy Asnd for less than 77 tomorrow, but it may be worth a try (ggg) Regards and good luck Sig |
