I sourced this possible DELL Whisper number from an article in the street.com re. the CBOE traders; "The other tech story of the day was in Dell, which is expected to release earnings Thursday. Traders of every sort poured into the Dell action at the American Stock Exchange, creating activity in the calls and puts, traders said. Dell options traffic even outpaced Intel (INTC:Nasdaq), which forecasted a stronger-than-expected fourth quarter. Word among traders is estimating that Dell's earnings are going to top analysts' 27 cents consensus by about a nickel. Implied volatility has run to about 80% according to one trader who follows Dell, a typical level for a pre-earnings day. "Everyone's just waiting for Dell's earnings -- volatility started spiking yesterday," the trader said. Volume was the heaviest in the November 65 and 70 calls -- with Dell up 2 1/6 to 72 5/16 at midday. The November 65s traded 6,300 contracts and premium climbed 1 1/2 ($150) to 8 1/2 ($850), while the price of the call at the 70 strike price rose 1 1/8 ($112.50) to 5 ($500) on volume of 8,500 contracts." It sounds to me like the Whisper may range from $0.31 to $0.32. At least that's what the options traders think.
