AMAT, HWP, DELL.. I held them not because I expected them to do well today, but becasue I almost had no choice, or just take a loss on the options. I worked really hard on the financial puts to offset the loss I expected on the call options. Then I got my profit on puts and now the calls are in the money except for LCOS. My HWP were almost a double bagger when it started to tank, then I sold AMAT and rebought it and it began to tank. I expected AMAT, and HWP and LCOS to do well today. I was not sure about DELL.. If you notice the newsletter which I did on Saturday/Sunday I took away my 'preferred trade' status from DELL. (i.e. I gave it a Market Gems downgrade ;-)).. but I left the 'preferred trade' with HWP and AMAT. Also I was prepared that if HWP and AMAT and DELL were down there were enough picking among the watch list earnings to offset the loss. I'm not as conservative in day and overnight trades as I am in holding for 2-5 days.
