Larry Re :Write deep in the money calls will protect your gains in the retreat" I have all the stocks you mentioned - what expiry date/strike price do you suggest? Just asking for a point of view only. Thanks.

Good morning Larry: Dell's all time high calls for a gentle farewell to all the bears that perished here in the past and two now standing on the tracks trying to flag down the Dell train: alaike.lcc.hawaii.edu Many claim that Dell is 'just another box maker', but I call it a killer stock. Has more moves than Hilo Hatti or Sally Rand... From the NAsdaq top ten for various weeks in Feb, Mar: Dell +9 7/16, msft +8 15/16, intc +6 35/64 Dell +15 7/8, msft +8 Dell + 13 9/16, msft +7 1/8 Dell - 1 3/8, intc -11,sun -4 7/8 ( last week) Egg+ 12 7/8,Yhoo +8 3/8 Dell +7 15/16 It appears to me that these moves, tho somewhat predictable,come 'out of the blue' as Dell does not have spectacular news such as buying companies or new inventions. So I don't trade in Dell, other than to buy calls,but the moves are there and lucrative for those who can handle them. I have started to diversify, now have only 94% in Dell, the other 6 % in Lu,msft,csco,dis,ericy,rcl,mrk,mspg. As a result of meeting JBN at the meeting one year ago, I satrted buying some Dell leaps. Here is what they look like today: 2000 35's cost 14, value 63 2000 70's cost 18, value 44 1999 55's cost 16, value 48 1999 70's cost 11, value 35 2001 100's cost 33, value 37 As with many calls, some of these have been "down" at times like in October or April so its not risk free, but long term gravy. Hope the grandkids spend it wisely(G) Good luck and smooth trading Sig

Larry, I can vouch for your record in '98. It's definitely the best I know on SI. Amazing truly! You deserve a !! I still have my msft july calls (most of them anyway) and suspect that this Japanese news may be used by those short calls as an excuse to take msft and the market down tomorrow, though it may not finish down. Do you really think msft can hit 120 this week? That's more than I was looking for, but I agree with you that it will test 110 after earnings. You apparently think msft will go up on Friday but then head down on Monday. Isn't it more likely that msft will just head down on Friday, since earnings on announced Thursday and Friday is options expirations. I still haven't bought dell calls since they are priced a little higher than I am used to. I also like psft here. another stock I like longterm is nvls. I hope Japan and other factors don't mess up the market. If it does it should only be for a day or two.
