jhg, Watching DELL's stock price action moments prior to market close on earnings announcement day tuesday (August 18, 1998), reminded me of your post on August 5 Message 5419557 and my response Message 5427088 This was a classic example of how a stop loss order can actually defeat its intended purpose. DELL ranged between $112 1/2 and $113 1/2 most of the day and dipped moments before the close to under $110 and opened the next day above $120. A $110 stop loss order would have been an irresistable invitation to take your shares from you at blinding speed, in what turned out to be a momentary dip and not a real downturn in price. DELL's BTO/JIT model "ain't" just for their customers. The earnings report and split announcements represents DELL's BTO/JIT model for their shareholders. 4-Bob
