DELL as an internet stock...Here is an interesting post from the Raging Bull thread...

ragingbull.com

Of course DELL has some serious earnings and fundamentals to help justify its valuation. Notice how it held up much better than the typical internut stock <G>.

Best Regards,

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Internet stocks swooned Monday as investors took to the sidelines ahead of this week's economic reports and one notable Wall Street analyst warned investors not to "dive back in.

The selling started early and accelerated fast and furiously, sending The Amex Internet Index down 8 percent.

The Goldman Sachs Internet Index gave up a punishing 10.4 percent, its fourth largest one-day percentage decline ever and the biggest one-day drop since April 19 when the index lost 17.4 percent. The decline was just another devasting blow to the index, which lost 6 percent on Friday to cap off its fourth straight weekly loss. 

The 15-stock Goldman Net index is now up only 10 percent for the year.

Yet, despite the punishing losses incurred in the past month and even more so since April, the dot-com crew, on average, had yet to stumble enough to wipe out gains for the full year. The 15-stock Goldman Net index is still up 23 percent for the year.

Surf's not up yet

The positive year-to-date average return is just one of the string of reasons Lise Buyer, Internet analyst at CS First Boston referred to in her bearish morning commentary to clients.

"We do not believe that this is the time to dive back in,"  Buyer said. And despite many suggestions by Internet analysts to forego tradition and rationale when pricing these stocks, Buyer added: "We are closer to rational prices." >>

~OT~ Sig: Here is a Good Post on margin positions from Yahoo's DELL thread...FYI...

messages.yahoo.com

I believe you are right when you said..

<<The last few weeks cleared out a lot of margin positions. The last two days are clearing out the stop losses on the internuts.>>

Unfortunately some folks didn't learn their lessons last October. If you are going to use margin, be disciplined AND make sure you have a BIG cushion to deal with corrections in the market <GG>.
