Sig, I hold June 75, June 95, August75, August 85, November 75, January 70, January 2000, 35 and January 2000, 85 plus many, many shares of DELL. The leaps definitely generate less return than the shorter term options [liquidity issue]but you mitigate your risk somewhat by being much longer term and therefor can ride out the occasional dips in stock price. I would wait before rolling over the June options until after the stock price comes back Monday & Tuesday. You may also want to consider cashing out Tuesday pm as I will since the stock typically pulls back after earnings unless they have a split. And, I don't expect a split this quarter. At best we could see a 3:2 split. I used to invest in small cap firms but no longer. Only blue chip large cap firms like Lucent. LU is a great stock but a better one might be their Canadian competitor Northern Telecom which trades at a lower P/E. Northern Telecom trades both in the US and in Canada and is owned by Bell Canada. Lots of security & excellent growth. It's not a DELL but what the heck there is no other DELL. I own Lucent, Northern Telecom & Bell Canada. I also own Pixar & Rambus. Pixar is a definite keeper. Steven Jobs is behind the company and Pixar is in movie animation [Toy Story]. I know a bit about this company since I own a specialty packaging company that specializes in the entertainment industry. IMO Pixar will continue to do extremely well.
