GV. That makes perfect and honest sense.

The only reason for the rise to almost $31 was because expectations had risen beyond where DELL preannounced. Suit yourself, if expectations had only risen to where the earnings announcement actually was, then the stock would have risen to only $30 instead, about where it is.

So, if Dell had preannounced $9 billion, and delivered $9.1 billion, do you think it is reasonable to assume that Dell would have risen, pre-earnings, to nearly $30, but then climbed to $31 in afterhours?

So then, with your thinking, if the ONLY reason that Dell rose to $31 was because of expectations going beyond $9.1 billion, shouldn't $9.7 billion yeild, oh, 10% more?

The market is not perfect. How about the market is not completely honest either.

Why are you always apologizing for the nimrods sitting behind the shake em down controls? As if the imperfect nimrods have the ability to predict anything.
