Dell calls have been doing quite nicely. More than doubled my money in the Feb 65s and done pretty well in the 75s as well. Holding them at least until close to earnings. This time around, I tend to think that we might get a selloff after earnings reports. I'm guessing that although earnings will be great, there will also be a lot of cautionary talk about it being seasonal strength, not to expect the same thing next Q, etc. Techincal factors will also matter. If the hype continues and stocks run up strongly right before earnings, it is quite likely that they'll settle (if not crash) immediately after. I've played that one successfully before. mg
