To All: Dell is looking Blue Skyish, and Michael might make it blast off at any moment with an accidental comment about $20M/day sales over the Net. Since I am in a long term position on this beauty, I picked up some options to add a little spice to the meal. I'm holding dlqbq's (feb 85 calls) and dlqbr's (feb 90 calls). Would appreciate any comments that could help me time my exit (surely before earnings report).

CTC, I'm selling the Feb 100's in size against the Feb 85's I bought a week ago. I'm grateful for the options play. Here's hoping everything gets called. Totally agree with you.

Wait for a pull back and buy back the options to close the trade.
