bretsky...wade cook, roth, macmillan, et al... the intelligencio on the thread may disagree...but cook has a viable concept...but it's dressed in hype...go directly to roth's book "leaps"....it is a bit more serious but not as technical as macmillan... understand that the consistent money is made on the sell side of options, limited risk, capped gains, but win more than lose... look when taking a position in a stock, as you are buying an interest in the company...because if you are an investor, that is what you are doing.. worry about dell...not really, you hear a lot of juvenile comments on these threads when a stock is going down...most times they come from the malcontents who attempt to prosper from another's misfortune..true losers in life...if you don't believe that the economy has an upward trend...just look at the dow chart for the past 75 years...ever go down and stay down....i don't think so.. invest with logic...are computers passe?, technology no longer needed? e-commerce ending? again, not really...when ever you buy a stock, just ask "will it ever be higher than the price i pay today" with a value and growth issue the answer is always yes... you hear a definite silence from many on the dell thread..they are the investors who have single digit average costs...i bought dell at 60...was told it was overvalued...but that was five splits ago.. look for the long term...buy and hold quality, don't risk margin,stay away from highly leveraged temptations...and you will achieve your $1m and then some...learn your risk tolerance level...and times like these you will take in stride! happy investing...ed a.
