Dunno about your puts, but the implied volatility on my March's has slumped from over 90% shortly before the stock cracked to just over 50% today. When vol comes in, prices of all options shrink. Basically, the market thinks the news is out, and Dell will meander for a while. I disagree, but I doubt vols should be back at 90%.

I so seldom do the right thing that I do want to mention it when I do--which was to dump my AMZN puts yesterday and go into PVN. Am looking to re-entry AMZN after it gets over this bounce off its 55% decline. But LEAPS again.

Stefan, don't worry, Dell will be so far in the money by expiration day that you won't notice the fall in volatility. MB
