Gary, regarding the question you asked: <<Why do I spend an extra $20,000 for the DELL system?>> Let me answer your question by asking another question. (I realize that my question may seem a little strange, but think about it.) Why don't you separate Dell as a company from Dell's stock? The company may be all screwed up. For example, they don't offer a sub $1000 pc, their competition usually under prices Dell offerings, Dell is growing to fast and won't be able to manage this growth, etc. Given all the problems that Dell has, and the risks involved with an investment in the company, why has the stock consistently performed so well? Why do so many institutions own the stock? Why has the stock been one of the Street's top performers for a number of years now, etc., etc.?
So even if the company is all screwed-up, the stock isn't. So, given the stock's volatility, and one's ability to cope with this volatility and risk, why not invest in the company until the Street falls out of love with the stock?
Stock Bull
