Which was EXACTLY my point this morning to Oldtrader. He stated that CPQ was way down percentagewise. I simply said Dell was not far behind. I'm now back from my ride, I've dealt with it (per your instructions), I've scalped my daily 10k shares of Dell for 30 cents, and I'm ready to move on!! I'll be SURE to state (until January) that if you bought Dell APPROXIMATELY 2 years and 9 months ago, you need a TRIPLE to get even. Hopefully this will placate you.... If not, let me know and I will just have to 'deal with it' as long as you feel it is necessary!!! As long as I continue to make a few k on a daily basis, I will set aside time for you, Steve!
PS - Of course in the near future if Mikey gets up (after hours of course) to the podium and makes one of those 'announcements' (which seem to be alarmingly common lately), we might have to revisit the issue much sooner. Mikey would probably say something like this...
"Dear True Believers, we continue to take market share. Things are going great guns! However, our vaunted 'just in time' system seems to be working in reverse lately, what with trucks stuck at the border, planes not flying, Taiwan being hit with typhoons... So, our inevitable recovery will be set back once again. Fear not however, for we will triumph in the end'!!!" |
