>I used to trade alot called American Power Conversion (APCC). For ... the next earnings report came out AS EXPECTED....great number, but 'as expected' and the stock tanked to 15 dollars........wowweeee! < Candle, I thought APCC tanked b/c in that report they said that they were going to buy a software company instead of buying back shares as they had previously announced. That would certainly explain the tank better than merely meeting expecations. It is some kind of news like that, that will make a stock in a otherwise strong company go down. And I think Dell PR and IR people are much better than their counterparts at small APCC. From what I have heard Dell has followed through on their share buybacks, and if those buybacks are not reflected in the current shares outstanding (as I suspect at least some of them are not) then the buyback isn't reflected in the PE either which will be adjusted when the shares outstanding are adjusted. (You've done much better on APCC, what's your take on that recently? I'll look for a reply on the APCC thread.) MRE
