From the Fleck-Forbes-Dreman

Remember, all exams are open book. . . David Dreman, a columnist and author of several great books on value investing, wrote a recent column for Forbes entitled "Shredding Consensus" that I'd like to recommend. In it he questions why investors should pay 78 times trailing earnings for Dell and talks about how analysts have missed Dell's stumbling during the last couple of quarters. He also goes on to talk about how Dell is "primarily a box manufacturer with a growth rate that will decline as the personal computer industry decelerates," and how it spends virtually nothing on R&D.

The net of it was his recommendation that if you're brave, you should short Dell. I've been reading his columns for as long as he's been writing them, and the only time I can ever remember him actually saying short something was the bond market in late 1986-1987, which was right on the money. In any case, it buttresses my view of Dell, so if I didn't think he was smart already I'd certainly have to think he was now, right?
