Yaacov: If you go to this post of June 1997 then to the next ten and the previous 10 then all the posts are readable and the discussion was a possible $200 for Dell when it sold for $124: Message 1647727 Two months later Dell was 170, in 3 months it was $200, March '98 was 286, June '98 was 372, Aug 480, and feb 99 was $880 and today around $800. There were also some brilliant comments made about CPQ acquisitions before its fall.(sob)And discussion of a Japanese keyboard(G) Summary: The point I want to make is that $200 seemed an outrageously bullish figure at the time, yet Dell actually went to $880 within 19 months. Today we are talking $70 or $80 as a bullish figure, yet the actual underlying company is still " building up a storm", adding 50% to personnel in one year, etc. If Dell( stock price) grows at only half its past rate, it would reach $175/sh in 19 months. Dell is one bear-killing stock, the direction now is again "up". It has and will continue to confound detailed analysis as to how far. Regards ( but Hey, some of those were your posts)g Sig |
