I have been in the glorious Texas Hill Country (Kerrville to be exact), and am just now catching up. Well, you are exactly right, and I shudder at my poor choice of words regarding "information". I , as do we all, cherish good information; in fact, that is the great leveler (to an extent) for the average investor, being able to access good information at the click of a mouse. The key, as has been so succinctly pointed out in this thread, is to recognize what is information and what is hyperbole. Unfortunately, as earlier noted, I have fallen prey to such distractions in the past. I have learned from my mistakes. Dell has consistently proven itself a company capable of
consistently staying ahead of the naysayers. Why should not this stock continue to perform solidly? As a sidenote, I attended an options seminar recently, and the lead speaker, In identifying opportunities, stated to go with companies one knows about. For example, if you live in the town where XYZ co. is located, and you observe nothing but growth and new building, you have a pretty darn good idea they are going places. A bit simplistic perhaps, but, hmmmm, sure sounds like Dell. They aren't building that monstrous facility in my beloved Austin in contemplation of a slowdown. |
