To all hedge artists: I have great respect for your art, and am trying to understand your techniques. I pulled the following quotes for dell calls, based on Friday's close of 80 1/8: Expiry Strike 80 Strike 90 March 5 1 11/16 April 7 3/4 4 May 11 1/2 7 1/8 August 15 1/4 11 1/2 Jan '00 21 17 3/8 Jan '01 30 7/8 26 1/2 Since the 80 strikes are in the money, I would assume the premium is based on time and volatility issues only. The 90's indicate that the longer the time period, the less coupled the pricing becomes. Given that, wouldn't it be a better play to hedge by selling a series of short term covered calls as opposed to leaps? tia, Frank
