Well thank you! Although I am not sure if I really helped. The December pain point was 65, and until yesterday I was convinced it would close around there. I sold some covered 65 calls for 2 1/2, hoping they would expire worthless, but no such luck, so had to buy some stock at 67 9/16 in the last 10 minutes today to prevent my existing DELL stock from being called away (don't want that to happen for tax consequences). Didn't lose much, but including transaction costs, lost about 10% of what I had made by selling the 70 covered calls last week (which I bought back this week for 1/16 so that I could sell the 65s).

Dellicious - Can you imagine how impressed congenial Don would have been had you been closer than $3 on your expiration call. Boy doesn't take a lot to impress him. You might want to talk to him about a finders fee. Sounds like a lot of Glee Club suck-um to me.

From the porch Good night!
