sorry to hear that, jose...you won't see dell at 32 unless it splits again soon...NEVER sell on good news, unless the stock is UP...this is just options expiration b.s. imo...i hope you kept some...one thing i have learned is NEVER SELL DELL AT A LOSS, especially if you expect to pick some up even cheaper :) cheers, GRANOLA

<Sold 2500 yesterday just before the closing at 38 5/16 and another 2500 this am at 37 5/16.> Jose, I was literally just thinking about dumping 25% of my dead money. Not having any buying power stinks!

Hi Jose: RE: << Pat, I averaged down from $54 to $47 and was expecting earnings of .17 to .18. My dedication to Dell did not allow me to sell immediately after my disappointment with the earnings. However I decided to bite the bullet and stop the bleeding. Sold 2500 yesterday just before the closing at 38 5/16 and another 2500 this am at 37 5/16. I am on margin and I am not willing to continue to satisfy the margin calls. I will buy back at $32. in smaller increments until there is some positive momentum....>> Sorry you felt you had to sell, do you believe Dell will be at 32 within the next 30 days? How do you deal with the "wash-sale" rule? TIA. Good luck and aloha.
