Sig, I am not experienced with Leaps although I've been trading stock options for quite a while. I just rolled my 60 Feb 110 calls to the same amount of March 120s -- earning reports make me nervous even Dells. My Q was how come you choose to buy 90s which are $20 in the money as opposed to say 120s? How does this strategy compare with buying a straddle with Jan 2000 120 Calls and Jan 2000 90 puts for example? Tx.

Sig, I don't understand! If you buy 100 DELL @ $110 ($11,000) how can you pay $4500 and $3500 for your Jan 2000 and Jan 1999 leaps? ( Was that supposed to be $450 and $350 respectively?) Seems like it adds up to more that $12K! I don't know what LEAPS are, but I was curious! Ken
