Kevin, At what point do you think it might be prudent to enter INTC on the other side? I think people are forgetting how vulnerable intel is to Asia, and how the company strongly mentioned this fact at last earnings. I just dont feel good about INTC like I do about Dell or others.. I think they have exposure and also decreasing margins based on the lower priced PC's... I dont want to get hit by a truck, but I cant believe it is near 90 today... I am gonna enter DELL calls a bit out and up in the next few days.. Lisa, I think you are safe IF you enter a ways out... the last time the mother ship floated, you were all near the current period and strike. If a person goes out to like August and up, I think the deterioration wont occur because it will pass the strike. The author of the options calc is comming to my town here, I might go see his conference (Scholes) Any opinions??? E

Good Morning Kevin; Nice to see what you are up to. My oex puts are still completely under water, even when we were down 75. I feel like the big guys have enjoyed this run up, and they will keep it going until they can get every possible dollar in the market, then they pull the plug and collect some bucks. I know you don't think much of manipulation but its just odd that when you decide that the only way it can go is up, that when all the news is good, that when all the bad new is ignored, that's when we go down. (sometimes). To me,its we get their bucks by beating them to the good stocks, or by getting out, before they get out. The only way to get more out than you put in, is if someone is willing to pay more than you paid, for what ever you bought. (Sonuds like buy low sell high to me) jmo

Hi Kevin, What's your take on CPQ these days. Still have the April 40's? I got some april 27.5 at 8.5 for a zero premium trade. Looking for a little sister ship action. But I'm a short cluck from a quick exit. Glad to hear you healed up.
