>>you might consider selling the whole position prior to earnings...I would give it a 90% chance of a sell-off at, or right afterward earnings Good advice, particularly since Jake is making huge returns. I think the better strategy might be to take half of the positions off the table on Friday, 2/12, and let the rest ride for a blow out earnings report. The comparison to csco is fair, but cisco is not dell. Look at dell's split unadjusted prices last year versus this: Date Close Date Close 5-Jan-98 88.25 4-Jan-99 74.19 6-Jan-98 88.44 5-Jan-99 75.25 7-Jan-98 86.25 6-Jan-99 78.13 8-Jan-98 86.19 7-Jan-99 78.19 9-Jan-98 83.19 8-Jan-99 77.81 12-Jan-98 87.06 11-Jan-99 82.00 13-Jan-98 89.69 12-Jan-99 80.44 14-Jan-98 91.38 13-Jan-99 79.31 15-Jan-98 91.62 14-Jan-99 77.63 16-Jan-98 92.75 15-Jan-99 79.00 20-Jan-98 93.12 19-Jan-99 82.13 21-Jan-98 94.25 20-Jan-99 85.31 22-Jan-98 92.50 21-Jan-99 84.19 23-Jan-98 94.81 22-Jan-99 83.00 26-Jan-98 94.62 25-Jan-99 84.88 27-Jan-98 97.50 26-Jan-99 88.50 28-Jan-98 97.12 27-Jan-99 88.50 29-Jan-98 98.62 28-Jan-99 94.19 30-Jan-98 99.44 29-Jan-99 100.00 2-Feb-98 104.56 1-Feb-99 108.00 3-Feb-98 106.06 2-Feb-99 108.63 4-Feb-98 107.62 3-Feb-99 107.88 5-Feb-98 107.00 4-Feb-99 102.38 6-Feb-98 108.88 5-Feb-99 100.44 9-Feb-98 108.12 8-Feb-99 10-Feb-98 110.88 9-Feb-99 11-Feb-98 110.25 10-Feb-99 12-Feb-98 110.75 11-Feb-99 13-Feb-98 110.88 12-Feb-99 17-Feb-98 111.31 15-Feb-99 18-Feb-98 113.19 16-Feb-99 19-Feb-98 122.75 17-Feb-99 20-Feb-98 126.31 18-Feb-99 23-Feb-98 130.94 19-Feb-99 24-Feb-98 128.44 22-Feb-99 25-Feb-98 129.94 23-Feb-99 26-Feb-98 133.25 24-Feb-99 27-Feb-98 139.88 25-Feb-99 Earnings report dates are boldfaced. There was no post earnings sell off last year, and the situation is very comparable. Imho, Frank btw, I have this information on an excel spreadsheet. If anyone would like a copy, PM me your email address.

Only 5 more trading days till earnings. Where do you think DELL will be trading on Feb. 16th ? Why do you think there will be a sell-off....no split announcement, falling short of whisper..?
