Flash sector looking strong..... Dell has kind of piqued my interest again at under $20. Opinions anyone? Waste of time, or is dell worth a buy under $20? I was thinking of maybe placing an order for 417 or $18 and see if it comes down to me. Also, what about the leaps....on one hand, the 2003 $20 leaps are about $7.50 - $8....not too bad at all. ITM, 2 years out and only $8 apiece. Then again, with the stock at only $20, wouldn't it be best to just buy the stock...I mean, assume your brokerage allows 50% margin....buying 100 dell at $20 would only eat $1000 into acct....the options which are not marginable would count $800 against the account. Additionally, stock never expires...only if it goes bankrupt, so in this situation, would buying the stock not be better then the 2003 ITM leaps. I'm dropping in an order for dell at $18....too high, too low?? Opinions?? Also looking for more sndk.....I should have bought at $27 - $29....just trying to be cautious. I may grab a few more shares at market, just to get hold of some more....if she drops back to $28 I add more, if she keeps rising, at least I added......stupid? Smart ? keith
