Hi Chuzz,
Well after my latest faux pas, losing me $10,400 (buying back those calls, of course DELL tanked the next day) and being away from computers for several days at a professional conference, I had some time to think.
Naturally you were right (it was too late, I'd bought them back already) but what bothers me the most was that I had thought my original move out logically (I believed DELL was going to have a weak two months) and should not have changed my plan just because someone questioned it. I need to have the committment to my own investment plans with the same strength I have a committment to Libertarian principles. But I've been a Libertarian longer than I've been an investor so that will come.
Anyway when DELL goes back up this week I'll sell those 140 LEAPS for half the position and leave the rest uncovered for shorter term cash flow.
Good luck to all: If you can learn by others mistakes hope all this helps. Me I seem to have to learn by making big wins (firecrackers and rockets go off) or big losses (big holes open up for me to fall into).
