El - I'm at it again... after a discussion with another CPQ investor reminded me, I bought 400 contracts of CPQBZ Feb 32.5s, mostly at 1/4, cost about $10K... Also 200 CPQBF Feb 30s, some at 5/8 and some at 3/4... in about $13K on that one. This may be the play where I lose money, they only have 3 weeks to run, but WTH. Still looking for a good buy on DELL calls but confidence still seems high, premiums are up there... I've been watching DLQBV Feb 42.5 looking for 1/4 or 5/16 but no soap, low was 7/16 and not much at that price... also watching DLQBH Feb 40s looking for 5/8 - has not gone near that... Mar is more expensive yet. If DELL posts earnings in line with their warning I don't see the stock getting to the 40s for a while so those are all pretty risky.
