Michelle: I'm sorry to intrude, as your post wasn't addressed to me...butt <<< About all I have learned is that I need rt quotes and to stay in the money. >>> What you wrote is applicable only if you're using options as a proxy vehicle for day, or very short-term, trading. That is definitely not the focus of this thread.

Michelle, If you've learned to buy in the money options on this thread, then you need new reading glasses. <G> Seriously, I buy out of the money options and tend to sell at the moneys. In the moneys rarely cross my portfolio. It is nice that somebody can learn something from the Dell thread. BTW, I suggest Mcmillan's "Options As A Strategic Investment" a primer before reading any of the threads here. Good Luck, MB
