dorine...re: "you have held..."
i've held great issues for long periods during my thirty years of investing. it was much easier even ten years ago, when an 8-9% appreciation was stellar. those days are over.
you mention of msft and sunw, throw in intc and csco. now compare the positive forward vision of gates/ballmer, mcneely, grove, chambers with michael dell........
i throw it back to you, kemble, wbm, any dell staunch supporter...other then the obvious, what has michael dell stated the future of dell to be, that would take them into a non pc centric world. reports out this morning that in a few years hand held devices will numerically outstrip pc's as the form of internet connection. read rudedog posts to darrell smith on wireless....dell not showing anything concrete. if they don't defend the share price at this point, they never will
not telling you or anyone to sell, that is a personal decision. i've made mine, sold 20k shares recently, tremendous profit....why? don't want to see that amount lie fallow with no return, in a market that is almost difficult to pick a stock that doesn't move up!!! look at the pc sector since february.... why is dell odd man out???? compare with hwp, rebounds from 72 to 110 with the help of ms. carly f....she did her job!!!! good luck.... ed a.
p.s....great to look at i-watch, but remember my post to you when the mega volume at 45 was crossing with no movement. if on balance buying exists, and demand is stronger then supply stock goes up. there is always two sides to the trade, be it buyer or mm. |
