Re Nov Options <<<Absolutely beautiful performance Tell us more!>>> Well thanks,Don.I only know the options plays of one or two other people so have no way of knowing whether it is good or bad. My broker thought it was good,as I said in a PM. Various comments on the thread,and even by the broker have said that 8 or 9 of ten options expire worthless.I did not find that to be true, except when first learning. I tend to buy option strikes just a bit higher than the stock price which makes them expensive, a lot of them around 2 to 8 ,with perhaps $10 average since the Dells cost ~15to 22. But the stock only has to rise a relatively small amount to make them good and being far out, has months to do that. Dell does not have a problem(Haha) I consider any leaps to be an investment on a solid company ,rather than a risk bet to be sold early so will hold them a long time. My spacebar has problem so,will stop here.FWIW,these are my present holdings Rmbs Feb 85* Csco Apr 70* Dell Dec 55,65,70 Dell Jan 27.5,35 Dell Feb 50,70,75* Dell May 60,65* Dell 2000 17.5,35,55,70* Dell 2001 50,60,65,75,80* Hboc Feb 40(a loser)Hehe Intc Jan 90 Intc 2000 120* Msft 2000 140 Mrk Jan 135,140 Plcm jan15 Plcm Apr 15, 17.5* Tlab Mar 35 Wag Jan 45 * Recent purchase Of the above 32 , 5 are down in price , 6 are about 0, 21 are up
