GV, The dumb whisper number is imperfect also. And all the analysts this past week who listened not to MSD last month and said DELL will beat by a few cents are even more imperfect. And I'm a total whimp....in the heat of "Dell will be 100 by next week", I closed my november 30's; ate into the premium received. Question....Dell options for the next few months in the cycle only go out to 35. What occurs if the stock price goes past the highest strike? Cheers, kaka

GV. That makes perfect and honest sense. The only reason for the rise to almost $31 was because expectations had risen beyond where DELL preannounced. Suit yourself, if expectations had only risen to where the earnings announcement actually was, then the stock would have risen to only $30 instead, about where it is. So, if Dell had preannounced $9 billion, and delivered $9.1 billion, do you think it is reasonable to assume that Dell would have risen, pre-earnings, to nearly $30, but then climbed to $31 in afterhours? So then, with your thinking, if the ONLY reason that Dell rose to $31 was because of expectations going beyond $9.1 billion, shouldn't $9.7 billion yeild, oh, 10% more? The market is not perfect. How about the market is not completely honest either. Why are you always apologizing for the nimrods sitting behind the shake em down controls? As if the imperfect nimrods have the ability to predict anything.
