Darth, re:wrote a covered call Aug $115 this morning for $2.50. I can't believe the price some folks will pay for this volatility!

Shhh! If the thread catches wind, you'll be maligned for selling away tremendous upside. Why, $115 will be a bargain after next Tuesday, and the shares will be yanked from your hands. The one-week profit of $11.50 (minus commissions) will hardly be enough to overcome the remorse. <g>

re: selling Dell covered calls

if dell misses earnings you might face a large loss.

if they beat substantially, you will wish you didn't cover your upside.

might not be a great move either way.
