If it is of any interest, I just shifted what I had in my latest AMZN LEAP puts to same in CMGI. Think AMZN has a long way to fall but CMGI maybe even more. Also, I find that taking profits whenever I am up 50% and not taking any losses seems to work with LEAPS to constantly increase the capital base. Only workable in a crazily overvalued market.

I have some MU puts as well. Any thoughts on the firming of chip prices and the potential increase in demand once Asia picks up steam? Dan

Mike, Speaking of puts. 10,000 contracts of Dell Jan 42.5(LDEMV) traded hands today at 10:52am ET at the bid. Any idea what this is about? Is this the sort of thing that you would expect Dell to be doing if they were expecting a bad earnings report on the 18th? BTW - They went off at 9.5. Or maybe this was Edamo's work. -g- Craig
