About 2 or 3 points down is my guess but what do I know. I do know that Intel has ruined most of the box makers with their continual lowering of chip prices giving company's like e-machine's a price advantage. Dell insiders have dumped large quantities of stock recently and this is not a good sign.

It is really good (and maybe painful to some people) to see previous high flyer like DELL come back to reality. The next major support is around $30. But with the continued rumors that IBM may eventually buy Dell, I do not expect Dell to spend much time here. Talks were held but both companies passed on the deal after IBM decided Dell was too expensive. Maybe it is time for them to take another look. Patience is still the keyword. Don't try bottom fishing here and wait till the trend turn around. I am ready to get back into DELL any time soon if I can see that.

What To Do When Your Puts Turn Blue or HOW TO WORK A GOLDMINE! I listed $116K in puts I'd SOLD; several have PMd me asking how I did. Short answer: FINE! Here's the long answer too: When you sell puts the broker sends a Confirmation with important facts: A. The strike price B. The option code C. The expiration date D. The price the option was sold for, credit to my account. Example: Dell DLQTI August 45Ps are $11. Sell 10 contracts, bring $11,000 If DELL closes above 45 by 3rd Friday/Aug, keep 11G. But what if Dell falls and the options are at 15 near Xday? Buy them back to close the position, lose $4/share = $4,000 AND simultaneously sell another put for $15 or more. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE DELL! The only important thing is the PRICE! This is a rollout. I rolled Dell puts into CMGIs, got $96/share for ZBMTs [Jan 2001 $200 strike] Turned 116K into 200K+ Bot some stock, too, then sold 200/strike calls. Did OK! Put-Putting down the Green River. DRM
