HoyaBob, "Worst case, one gets called and simply misses the added profit" and that can be pretty significant. if you are long the stock and expect a temporary decline, why not buy a put? then you are protected if the stock moves either way. regards,

HoyaBob, I bought back my short position on my August bull spread this morning. I sold the Aug $120s when I opened it for a little more than $10. I bought them back this a.m. for a little more than $4. Now I just own the Aug 90s, outright! I also moved further out on half of the short-side on a second Aug bull spread. I moved from the $110s to the $130s. I had trouble closing it out, because it was on 100 contracts (fifty on the 1/2 I moved) However, for about three dollars, I bought $20 more of upside. If DELL dips, I'll buy back the enire $130 position. The great thing about this is the upcoming split! Regards, LoD
