Hi Chris--thanks for posting the DELL PRICE ANALYSIS earlier today. Prior to that post, I had done some work on prior DELL splits also and came to the conclusion that I have way too much CPQ and way too little of DELL. Tomorrw a.m., I will be cashing out of 33% of my CPQ and putting it into DELL. I will be doing this through the use of leverage by using DELL Leaps. If you know what the INTC warrants were all about, they acted much like an in-the-money LEAP (long-term option). I am doing this by using the Jan 2000 calls and the strike price of 140. It should move 1:1 with DELL stock as premium deterioroation doesn't really occur until you get within 6-12 months. I will have these in my IRA so that I don't have to hold for 18 months. At the same time I buy the LEAPS, I am going to sell Mr calls against the stock I already own in my trading account as I must agree that I am probably buying the LEAPS at or neat a price peak but I don't want to miss out on any more upside. Do you know the exact date the split becomes effective?
