can you actually read a balance sheet or do just listen to the company..in the next 12 months 50% of owners equity will evaporate as puts are settled unless the stock is over 27$..of course if it is lower the amount subtracted will rise..the data is there on the balance sheet right now...all i know is after this alone washes thru dell will have equity of 2.5 billion ... i.e they will have wiped out half their equity in one year via puts..now you can spew what you want about how you perceive it to be a "net net" but unless you meant a net net loss you are mistaken.for grins why not add up all the money dell has made selling boxes and compare it to equity and or cash and see how brilliant you feel they are at "trading"..

<<Shareholders are only liable for options granted that are excercised or still "in the money".>> thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard... when the company grants options they are granting potential stock clear and simple. Use your head.... if the above doesn't make sense I'll tell you what, why don't you just GIVE ME some out of the money options since really aren't worth anything??? I'd prefer puts on a variety of names, but at your valuation [zero] I'll take calls as well. NOW how do you feel about the value of an option? DAK
