May 30s for a $1.00 Think of it this way. So the stock goes to 31 and you have to pay $1.50 to buy them back - but - but your net worth increased about $4.00 to $5.00 per share. If you got $1.00 and pay $1.50 to buy them back your out of pocket is $0.50. I like paying $0.50 to gain $4.00 or $5.00. Glass half full! Just sell the $35s to get back your whole $1.50. Glass full!

Hi!! RE: DJ Smyth-I report what I do generally which is what a few of us actually do on this thread-I am long 85550 DELL and have sold options against the position-- the May 30 for $1.00 --I think I screwed up however and sold them too early but what the hell-I know nothing about Jack Drefus-never thought they were too swift- etc-I have used charts actively since 1959 -love the incredable improvement and their disimination-All of this has helped me do well over the past six years.Best-hope this helps. Talked yesterday to the folks on Easter...Dad says Barron's options showed that someone bought 2000 DELL contracts for Oct. 50's....Does someone know something we don't? :o) Or is Patrick back shopping again? Best, Kemble
