>>like I have betrayed my best friend.<< Would your "best friend" be your wife or Dell? I know where you're coming from and we have all been in the same position. Having sold my entire holding in CSCO several years back and feeling like I lost a best friend. Well, I bought it back after it more than doubled and I've held on ever since. You can do the same with Dell only right away. Good luck, Allan

Hello TCBinAugusta [I hope that's Georgia!] It's not too late. If you sold Dell yesterday for 73 1/2 and bot ATHM you're OK, both are up with ATHM ahead of Dell's gain. But here's a play to get your DELL back and some extra $$$ too, if you decide to sell your 2,000 ATHM. which is 80 now: Sell the ATHM for 80+ Buy Dell for 75+ Sell Dell Feb 75 Puts for $5.50. 20 contracts = $11,000 Dell is almost certain to go up before earnings, if it just stays the same you have a $5.50 discount on your shares. If it goes down you can roll the puts out and take in more money. Take the profit from your ATHM trade to Tijauna. Call me for a tip on some fast horses there. My brother-in-law runs a shuttle plane direct to the track. <ggg> FWIW TC! Don
