Ouch!

I managed to buy back my Nov62.5 calls this morning for smaller loss than I almost had. That's it for my Prudential broker and his money losing advice. (Any suggestions on a new brokerage, Long term holdings only, I would need to transfer some widely traded mutual funds as well as stocks, I would just as soon trade over the internet and not give the broker a chance to make his recommendation).

I did make a lot more paper profits from Dell's rise than the all too real loss at buying back covered calls. The next time someone suggests I sell calls on Dell for the period just before earnings I am going to get Kemble to put a choke hold on them!

TP
