3,
Now I know that some of us are happy with the way the market has gone. Had the market gone the other way (which it may some day) a different group would be preaching about how they were right. The market is a 'fickle' partner, and over time we will all be bruised. If the SHORT position is one you believe in, and you happen to lose some money, it is counter productive to rub ones face in it. If the LONG position loses money, it is counter productive to rub ones face in it! I want to hear the positions from both sides of the issue. Remember the saying "The BULLS make money, the BEARS make money, the PIGS lose money!" As an investor, IMHO, sometimes I'm a BEAR and sometimes a BULL. The market has about 3 BULL markets to 1 BEAR market, so I am more BULL than BEAR. It is easier and safer by about 3 to 1.
This thread has provided much valuable insight into DELL and the operations there on which we can make our investment decisions. In the postings that I have read, it seems that those who have friends working at DELL are more BULLish than BEARish. I wonder what the people with friends at CPQ are saying?
For me, the "I told you so!" eventually comes around to 'bite me'!
Warmest regards,
Ken |
