Re: [RT] Barron's Option article

I think you better read that article 
again.
 
The first put options that I could find 
with significant open interest and enough time for DELL to go to 8 are 
the Jan 03 40 and 45 LEAPS @ 4843 and 1145 respectively.
 
If they sold ALL 5988 puts (4843 +1145) their 
maximum loss would be only $207,646.00 if DELL is at 8 on 
expiration.
 
I haven't done the math but I would bet that the 
total of all 40 and 45 put open interest would fall far short of $2.3 
Billion.
 
Good luck and good trading,
 
Ray Raffurty

    articleDell Corp. sold a TON of far-out put options 
    on their own stock some timeago at about 40-45 
    strike.Bottomline: if Dell goes to 8, they will have lost $2.3 
    billion to cover theloss.Barron's is calling this event as the
