Put at 120 will get cheaper assuming that the price has a run-up into earnings. If you're going to buy one (and I'm not recommending that you do so) I'd wait until August 17 or 18, at such time as the stock should peak (but may keep going if the news is stellar). The higher the price, the less expensive the put will be. In other words, I'd suggest you wait.

Bill RE: Options..

Dell stated in their previous earnings reports that Asia constitutes only 7% of their business. Eurpoe has been booming. I dont remember a warning of slowing business, although it may have happened. I got out of my options about 5 hours before the earnings report for a substantial 5 figure profit.
I dont sell puts on stocks going up. I may begin to play that side of the options strategy.
This will be a strong earnings report.
