One Dell insider who is on the list explained his option sale to me - he believes that the price will rise significantly this year. His current options are taxed as regular income at sale so if he holds them through the rise he will be in the highest bracket for the gain. If he sells and buys either direct stock or calls he will be taxed on capital gains for the rise. In his case he feels this is just a way to keep more of the value of the gain away from uncle sam.
