Your Margin is ok..we are close to bottom if not already..If you get a call then to hell with it... If it makes you feel better..I sold Tlabs a fat ass loss today..I owned it 1 day..My day-trader rule is to sell quick if it falls 10% in order to protect my capital..I win some and loose a few but over all... :) these cheap tricks on the thread are scavengers begging for crumbs...

>Might as well say I tried if I'm going to be broke!!!!! >I'm scared though. There are many people here that have bought just before a stock tanked...its just the nature of the beast. Can't time the market! Let me say that I've been broke twice...both times thru my so called 'friends' (scamming friends)...the last time was in 91...took me 3 years to buy a new car and have spending money! No more 'friends' and no more scams...just believe in yourself! :)

RE: LEAPS and calls Those November 60's are risky. Either sell them, or sell the same number of November 65's against them to create a spread. If the 60's expire worthless, the 65's will too, and you will have cut your loss a little bit. If a sudden burst puts Dell over 65, you'll make $500 per contract (approximately)but no more. Remember you have to sell if your option is in the money before it expires if you don't want to end up with a long position (or with a spread with both legs in the money both a long and short position) and you claim not to have the margin (but if Dell is > $60 you may have. In you buying and selling, take your time and try to sell a limit order at a tad less than the Ask, or when buying a limit order at a tad more than the Bid. No reason to give away all of the price spread to the MM.

freeus, don't let these short selling turkeys get to you...They always come out of the woodwork at times like these, with their "THE SKY IS FALLING, THE WORLD ECONOMIES ARE COLLAPSING, ALL IS LOST" bull crap...I see familiar short seller names out there that appear every time a good stock has suffered reversals for whatever reason. Actually, freeus, this is a good sign. You see, they have invested heavily in selling DELL short, and they are peeing in their pants with worry that Dell will catch them cold...They know how quickly DELL can rocket upward when it decides to go north!!!
