codawg, Bought my MSFT calls today--April 100s (added to my Intel options yesterday). Now holding a bit more MSFT than Intel. Not going too far out of the money just yet. I think MSFT is building up a lot of potential in its stock price. One day soon, it should take off with or without the Nasdaq and given the relatively low implied volatility on its options, the chance to make a bundle are there. OF course, I am also holding a lot of Intel and MSFT stock (a bit more Intel than MSFT). Considering all the positives mentioned by analysts about the PC outlook, these are the stocks to hold. Intel is a little more stable(ie steady move up) than MSFT. However, the bigger opportunities in options are probably with MSFT---especially if one picks up short term out of the money calls. I am still toying with that idea. Considered getting into Dell again but decided that it is better to be in the source of Dell's products. Intel appears to be a safer bet on the PC sector than any boxmaker can be.
