Venkie, I'm selling more naked calls on DELL this morning with the bounce! Sold the 100 Dec. calls! Also sold naked calls on CTXS and AOL on the bounce! Hank McNabb

Venkie, CPQ would be my first thought if you have enough Dell. I bought XON as I said. I hope I caught it at the low. BA is moving. How safe do you want to be?

Hello, Venkie. I just bought JBIL Nov 55s for 1/2 and CPQ Nov 80s for 1/2 with limit orders. Don't buy everything all at once. Spread your money over time and over different stocks. Remember, the market may well be flat or maybe even down yet for the rest of the week. It's too hard to predict. But if you spread yourself out over time, then you can take advantage of any buying opportunities that arise in the future. I think Dell calls are too pricey to make a big profit on, so I'm not buying Dell at this time. I've been told by my broker that there is a 90 minute delay in reporting back transactions. That means that market makers can name their own prices for those of you who place market orders! DON'T PLACE MARKET ORDERS! You have no idea what you may end up paying! This is why transactions should be completely computerized, and the market makers cut out! Computers would be able to handle these transactions as if it were just another day, and computers wouldn't be taking a cut out of investors' dollars. Market-making is institutionalized thievery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
