<<<hi again. it also might help you get interested in doing this, if i added that i never short the stock. for a couple of reasons.>>> Your excellent posts have sure put a lot of clarity in this stock investing game which can be as complicated as you wish to make it. We all have different goals, with vastly different resources and always too limited vision to predict the market moves. You said that Dell is different, very forgiving of mistakes. Any bear that tried to short this stock for more than a few months is dead or gone (Larry and Flamethrower tried it and learned fast, Hank is long gone). Anybody that bought and held is only a few points off an all time high. Dell is the best buy-and-hold stock ever seen. Others like yahoo or Aol may do as well, but their volatility makes them harder(for me) to hold onto. And they still have to prove themselves by continuing to make money. Its not the P/E, its not the technical analysis, its the men behind the company and the excellent treatment they provide the consumer that make Dell incomparable to other box-makers. I enjoy reading about selling puts and bull spreads and all and may someday try that. Meanwhile can only work to improve ones own techniques, try one thing at a time. Dell leaps can be monsters. And in trading, one will always sell too soon, or buy too late but being right only 60% of the time can do wonders. (Buy high, sell higher)Hehehe. WOW: We may have a good day,have you checked those futures yet??? Regards Sig
