You are completely wrong in your view of DELL and in a few months will have only
yourself to blame for the lost profits.


You assume that I'm not profiting from my other investments. I am careful about what I invest in and rarely pick a loser - although I have a few of those too :( The point I made was that it appears to me that DELL is competing in a market that isn't growing much with little value add which can be copied. No one, as far as I can tell, has shared anything with me that has altered this perception.

If what you say (about DELL) is true... Why does Dell have more profits in the last
two quarters than CPQ, IBM, and HP put together?


Well, first it's a bit hard to compare CPQ, IBM, and HP profits against DELL since they compete in so many other markets and may have loses in those markets. DELL is clearly more targeted and focused. My contention is what if one of the above companies decides they are going to do a spin-out or subsidiarize their PC business in order to target the DELL model. If there is something that DELL has that keeps this from happening then there is a barrier to entry... So far I can not see one.
