Thank you for the information. I don't question the fact that the delta is .62 (per Bob Craig) or .639. I do not yet agree that it pertains to short term movements as opposed to the life of the option. Of course I could be wrong. However, I must say that my approach does not appear to have harmed my financial health, as I have multiplied my equity by more than ten in the last 24 mos. I simply have been unable to reconcile (yet) the concept that the delta applies to short term movements with the fact that my approach has allowed me to track my option values very closely. I am still reviewing this.

the delta is about 0.639 (as given by the CBOE options calculator)

BGR, The Philadelphia Exchange has option chains with all the "Greeks" calculated for all months/strike prices. If you go to the site below, near the bottom on the left side, click on "Option Chain", then select the option containing the "Greeks", enter Dell and you'll see the delta for every month and strike price. Saves a lot of computing.
