Space cadet,

I know that you have got bunch of DELL calls, so do I. Actually I got more last Friday and this morning. Maybe our goal of doubling our portfolio can definitely come true on the shoulders of MD. What can I say? Look for this dude to shoot straight up to 125, and then to 135 before August 18th.

It's a real pity that those guys who shorted below 100 were not even given a chance to cover before they would see deep red in their account!

I would have bought puts if the market were bearish this afternoon...Now it changed everything. Enjoy.

DELL, DELL, DELL!

larry!

Covered puts are great until the stock plummets and you miss out on the big gain!

It's been a good strategy for the internut stocks though - where as you said the premiums are very large.

Covered puts are artificial short calls. Why not save transaction costs by halving transactions?
