Re: DELL short.

Still doing homework for the short side and thought that the only scary thing for DELL is the possibility of actually building a well known brand name that deserves a premium. Have you addressed this yet? If so, a link to your comments?

Otherwise, I think that DELL's JIT setup will keep even DELL insiders from knowing when the sales are slowing down. So, if it tanks, it will go quickly. Also, I think the new ad campaign will NOT promote impulse buys of PCs. It's not like a regular retailer.

Meanwhile, waiting for your TA call on when to start building the short position.
