JFT,

sorry I sold dell may 40 calls at 2 7/8 and it still commanding $4.00 lol.

You are brave. We'll soon see about smart. But you definitely are brave.

Stocks still has 3 points time value on it with 11 business days lol.

I don't understand. My options expire May 22nd or about 16 business days away. Do you have some very special options expiring a week early. Which one of us is the most mathematically challenged.

AT least we know nobody in their right mind would buy the May 40 calls at these ridiculous prices. (G)

Several have; and several more will likely continue to do so. If you want to hold your shares, you'll probably be forced to pay even more.

I certainly wouldn't let my Dell shares go for $40 even with a $4premium.

good luck,
Ian.

All these years I've been wondering, and now I know. I'm definitely in my left mind, because I bought the May 40 calls on Thursday and Friday, as well as the May 42 1/2s.

DELLish, 3.
