Uncle....... As for the next two weeks,who knows?The only thing that bothers me is how high the Nasdaq is over the 200 day MA.However,we are entering 401k funding season(tax returns,etc) and everyone should know by now this has been a liquidity driven market for some time.Try a little trick I use.Think of options as long term investments(i.e. buy,hold,forget).Only for shorter periods of time than securities.I used to watch my calls daily,have a heart attack when I would see them fall 50%+ in a day and always sell too soon.Then,I would kick myself when they expired much higher.Now,I set a time target such as earnings,buy,hold and forget.As for Dell,I now believe a split announcement is imminent and plan to hold at least 50% position until Feb 18.If we are above 100 and market conditions look okay I would change that to 100%.Sleep tight.:-)
