michael re: i've considered writing calls on my DELL shares but don't know if that's such a good idea. after all, i'd hate missing a huge run.

I hope you don't mind my "free" $.02 on the issue, but to me it is like owning a best of breed race horse and betting against it. I have written calls and made money, but would have made more with a less sophisticated buy and hold strategy. There are others here that feel they do better with options instruments to supplement their positions but they are smarter than me ")

Michael,
Hi!!!

RE: I've considered writing calls on my DELL shares but don't know if that's such a good idea. after all, i'd hate missing a huge run. have you ever written calls on your DELL shares before?

Hey,Thanks...I'm not smart enough to figure all that out...I just keep accumulating shares...I've never sold a share...Believing in what this management tells us is my key to investing...I imagine where they are taking me...So far there is no problem...other than the fact they have always "underestimated and then overachieved."
:o)

Best, Kemble
