OT TP, I know stress very well. When i used to put everything into options, it was an incredible roller coaster. Lucky for me the bull market did not end back then and came out ahead. I use to buy call options when I noticed serious financial problems in world markets especially Asia. Picked up well out of the money calls on my favorites and gave myself about 4 months to make some money on these. Profit taking was not in my vocabulary. I rode the gains to expiration date most times. I am now well diversified. I actually use to alternate between Dell, MSFT, INTC. The goo thing about Dell was that once the earnings were out for Intel and Microsoft, you could park everthing in Dell stock and options--as its earnings releases were in the following month. Even in the face of some corrections, Dell would hold up well and make huge gains a week or two before the earnings release. Although I did not post on Dell message board, it was a great source of information.
