Steve,

Ok, so we are trending up until earnings and no stock. Is this time
for the SSS (Steve setp-in strangle)? I'm new at this so bear with
me:

1. Hold calls now while stock goes up into earnings.

2. As we get to earnings then buy puts because they are
cheap at that point and the sentiment is bullish?

3. Knowing that there is a small possibility of a run away
get some cheap upstrike calls as well? This protects our
upside potential.

As we approach earnings are the puts picked up at-the-money (seems
expensive) or one strike price below the current level?

Also, how far out do you want to go? Next month? Three months?

Thanks,

Rob

Steve,

HP raises the bar another notch with the announcement of a new Pavilion line starting with the P200 priced at $799.

I assume street price will fall a little below this amount.

They'll have to run the freeway right up to the shipping docks to handle the truck traffic. <g>
