Lucretius, it must be wonderful to have such a clear view of the future! You must be very happy with how your portfolio is doing, what with all of the gold in it and all of your Dell puts doing so well -- which is to say giving you such great buying opportunities for puts! A friendly piece of advice. Were I concerned about the short to intermediate term of the market I would find it much safer to be in short maturity bonds than buying naked puts or gold. At least that way you will get some return on your investment if heaven forbid you are wrong. Or is part of your doom and gloom scenario that inflation will suddenly rear it ugly head in the next three months destroying the value of your bonds? Can you not see a huge difference between DELL and USRX? Forget the charts and look at the business fundamentals. TTFN, CTC

Hi LT 'old man': Thanks for the advice much obliged. You keep upping the 'put-thang' and pretty soon you should have a 'small fortune'.As for DELL loosing a few points,10% or whatever, we all know that it might and this not a new revelation by a long shot.Have fun,hope you make a ton of money or something.

Couldn't find you Thursday! I figured out why you came back today. DELL hasn't moved up since Friday.

re: <<DELL is in blowoff territory here. DON'T BE GREEDY>> BLOW OFF, hahhahhaha All I have been hearing from you is the lack of Vol. Now we are having blow off. We need a large amount of vol. to have a blow. Blow would be a jump to 120s on large vol. with in the next month or two, not going to happen. SO you are Wrong wrong wrong. Dells chart looks great, I see it toping at 103 or so and yes we could have sell off after earnings. So what. Long term baring economic disaster, DELL stock will do just fine. Greg

Well, Hello there, LT! re: Now let's look a little L-T. Looks like we are goiing to make that run on 100 that I have been talking about. Glad I waited to short, eh? Bought a few more puts on Fri as I continue to add a little to my position on the way up. At 100, I will make my final and majority of my put purchases. Let's see on May 4, you wrote: Message 4325024 to which I responded Message 4325223 So I am glad to see that you have developed a bit more sense in your methodology for shorting DELL. Still a risky business... After earnings, I expect this stock to lose at least 10% on the 20th. DELL may well dip after earnings. It certainly will IF earnings come in below estimates. But what if it beats expectations significantly? Consensus earnings are about $0.42. If DELL earns $0.47? $0.52? ... DON'T BE GREEDY! ... If DELL should dip enough to give you a profit on your puts, follow your own advice. I understand there may even be a "Don't Get Greedy Shorting DELL Seminar" being offered by H. McNabb in Arkansas, somewhere. If you can find it, I highly recommend attendance. Good trading, 3.
