RE: Can you provide one logical reason why Tom Meredith, DELLs Chief Financial Officer would want analysts, shareholders, and the market to believe that DELL was doing exceptionally well if it were not?

JP,

You replied "Greed."

Without knowing Mr. Meredith's net worth, as of April 30 1997, he was credited with owning 375,913 shares of DELL. DELL has split twice since then, so I think we may safely assume that Mr. Meredith is "well off". If DELL drops in value by 10%, 50%, or 90%, he would still be "well off".

Since you so glibly suggest that he would publicly sacrifice his integrity and good name for the sake of keeping DELL's price climbing for another 3 weeks (until earnings) even though, being an insider, he cannot sell without detailed public scrutiny, may we understand that this is something that you would naturally do in his place?

As I understand it, you do take care of Other People's Money, do you not? So, do you believe that Mr. Meredith's standards are lower than your own, or merely equal?

IMO, you owe a public apology to Mr. Meredith -- right here on this thread where you maligned him.

No respect intended, 3
