JP,
>>> But the real risk in investing is loosing money. After a prolonged advance, that risk increases. In DELL's case, it is increasing.
I do feel the stock is going to rally up to its earnings report, unless the market becomes disenchanted with the July E reports, then many stock may suffer or experience volitlity. <<<
I thought the E report was August, and July was the shareholders meeting, but what do I know?
Now Jim, it doesn't take a 'rocket scientist' to know that DELL has pulled back after earnings, after all, it did a 98 1/2 to ~82(?) last time. If you are worried, and have a 'sheltered position ( no tax liability )' you can always 'sell' just prior to the earnings report, if you feel that the stock will pull back. That is if you aren't holding 10 million shares, and if you are trading 'on line' where you can initiate your own order without depending on some broker that just doesn't seem to get to your order until all the biggies are taken care of and the stock is down a couple of points.
The motion in almost any other scenario will cost you big $$$, and the 'taxman' comeith to take 'profit' and 'fun'!
JMHO
