Hi Don. I am making an ongoing effort to understand the attraction of selling puts, but am not having much luck. For example, in this current earnings run, I feel pretty comfortable buying piles of LEAPS and will make a very good return. If I were to sell puts, I get the put premium and can buy calls with it, but I will be tying up a big pile of cash because of the put. It just seems to me I can get a much better return on the LEAPS.

re I believe that if a company has to lay off workers its the management's fault Thats the first quote I told everyone when I returned home. What a wonderful man, his "aura" must be pure gold. In several ways. God bless Michael DELL. Wow, double again (those calls) ? Maybe I ought to buy some more, further out, do you know the letters for a feb 110 DELL call? What do you think, if I sold too early, dont mind getting in again with a higher number. Isnt it dangerous to keep calls past earnings???? Freeus
