Herm and company,I am new at this thus forgive my ignorance, but what would you say about buying say sept. 85 puts for dell at 7/8 o 5/8? It is reporting earnings tomorrow, don't you think there will be profit taking after the announcement? Also the chart looks promising, or am I totally on left field? Any response is welcome Paolo

Geez Herm, you were supposed to babysit BTGC for me.... I just got back from vacation (I'm actually on a train to NYC this morning) and saw what BTGC has been doing while I've been away. When I left, it was recovering; upward price movement, heavy volume, rising RSI, bounce off the lower BB, the whole nine yards. What happened? Whoever sold me those January calls got a great deal; they're worth just a little more than half what I paid now. At least this time I gave myself plenty of time to wait for a recovery before my calls expire worthless... Doug.
