Have Sept puts. Will hold until after DELL reports for good or bad. Good luck. I think if you are patient it can't go much higher than 70 before it crashes, but make your own decisions.

Chung Lee, Would you please cover your GTW short so it can go to $10 and I can get out whole? It is horrible to have a long-term loss on a short. If you look at the 52 week high and low on GTW, you will see my shorting entry point - 25 1/4! I was convinced after visiting their Country Store in Tampa with the stools made out of tractor seats and idiots for sales people, combined with the slowest loading web site I had ever seen while I was trying to buy a computer to replace my 486, I decided to short it. It also had a beautiful head and shoulders formation on the chart. I think it went up $5 the first day after I shorted it. I have been waiting forever for it to return to a reasonable valuation so I can get out with a reasonable loss. The "Your Ware" joke appears to be a marketing success; insider selling is totally acceptable; slowly abandoning South Dakota for states with income taxes is seen as a positive. Even an earnings disappointment couldn't wound it. Please cover your short so it can go down and I can get out.
