I'm still new to options...only traded a few times, but, would the Sept calls lose their time value alot quicker. IE today...some of the Aug-Sept calls went down. The reason for Nov calls was yes, to play the earnings, but if things looked good after that i could continue to hold thru sept and oct. Was thinking I could get maybe 10 pts to 120
before earnings and maybe another 10 after.

Question
Last quarter Dell hit their #'s but I believe forecasted a slowing in the upcoming months and consequently dropped 10+ points over the next few weeks. Won't this quarter be the same? I doubt with the Asia thing that they will predict an upcoming banner quarter and consequently drop again. If this has any merit, would it be wrong to buy a put in the 120 range to protect a long position? Comments- I'm new to this.
