Michael, a couple of questions on your recent puts ... Does the fact that the CIEN Jan 50's have doubled since you bought your first third last week affect the strike price of the next third? (Perhaps Fed 45's rather than 50's, for instance?) The MXF May 15's have quite a spread, 3/4 - 1 1/4, last traded at 1 ... assuming that was you, did you have to work the order in some way, or did the mm just decide to hit your bid? Do you generally try to split the bid/ask when buying options, or only when it's this wide? Oh, one more: any recommendations for fresh put-buying on DELL? <g> Regards, Terry
