donnie: <has ed sold any dell> probably not, but his are free and clear...no margin whatsoever...and btw i will not be surprised when he DOES start to lighten up on his position....my point is, is that he has just about the most insiteful mind on this thread...and we are here for education and insight...his mind, for me, is the kind to inform me...not the absolute bs (for me) of kemble...if i want that, i can buy a damn recording...or turn the copy machine on infinity... i am arguing for more questioning here, more insite, more exchange of where ELSE to be...not absolute blind loyalty...i think ed says things WAY beyond, for example, the analytical position of chuzz...for it is the strategies and management changes which will determine the destiny of this thing...

venkie...haven't sold anything, including some aol at 170(ouch)

still long 30k dell position....

however i am seriously concerned about the lack of future direction that is coming out of dell....i tend to lean toward the cynical, didn't feel this way the last earning report, but knowing the model dell claims they subscribe to, you have to be 3-5 years out at the minimum with planning, keeping planning close and non public is important, but in overlapping 3-5 year periods, there should always be a constant flow of "new" news.....a fluid progression of growth and direction that is highly visible....especially when the competition has negated your achievements by clearly stating what you do doesn't matter...when the contrary is true...

hate to get serious on you donnie, but i have considered selling 15k dell and replacing same with 01 or 02(start trading 6/21) ditm 20 or 22.5 calls...this will free half of position in cash, may pay a 10% premium to the market, and if dell runs, my leaps run with it, it dell falls on no more than market sentiment, then i could double down when i feel it is turning....at the moment i would like to add more aol and even thinking about t...msft and intc look very good...

arthur concerned based on his experience....you gotta do what makes ya feel good venkster!!!!

Donnie, I kinda "feel" like you do...don't want to sell at historic lows, for me it was buy low, hold high, and now hold fairly low, don't want to exit with small gain...Ed's comments are astute and ones to consider deeply...but it's watch and wait right now, and as you said, maybe sell into a higher price (like 44)
