<<<As if a 38% rise to $40 in 25 trading days isn't enough>>> CPQ just went up 20% in 5 trading days- if Cpq can do it so can Dell <<< While DELL has done all the things your mention, you forgot to include a list of EPS. Since FY 98 4Q it reads like this: (undiluted based on common shares)>>> .89 .48 .55 .30 .34 .17 .20 .18 .17 .20 .22 .25 .18 .17 .16 .16 .16>>>> The early figures are distorted because of the splits Take earnings year by year and it looks better (as total shares decreased somewhat) 1997 $518/mm 1998 $944mm 1999 $1,460 mm 2000 $1,860 mm 2001 $2,100 mm But your last three 16 cent quarters are not included, so we still have a big problem of only $1,696 for 2002 Dell should try for at least 17 cents, thus showing a sequential growth, and even with the prior year quarter. Another thing would be to dump some tech investments for a gain of $160 mm to $304mm, putting this years earnings over 1998's of $1,860 or possibly over $2 bil which would look even better. Spend less on stock buybacks . Use creative accounting Sig
