Does anybody like this math? 1) Current P/E = 83.375/2.02 = 41.3 2) If earnings are .78, then the yearly earnings increase from 2.02 to 2.41 3) Therefore, if the P/E stays the same, the price after earnings would be: P/E (E} = 41.3(2.41) = 99.5 Might be optimistic, but Hank may be in trouble!

Meathead, yes, you are correct, I have been recently informed of this fact and have read it for myself. In response to Hank, yes, I have read your posts on options strategies. But, the bottom line is, if Mr. Dell is taking this much risk, he must know something we don't. The problem is, we don't know when and what options Dell is buying or selling at any given time. They may be buying leaps right now for all we know, and if they are, I am not going to bet against them since I am not privy to inside information. Bill
