Hi GV,..Re:. Merrill Lynch can no more control the price of DELL in the long run than you or I can Thanks for stating the facts about Kurlak and INTC. Seems like every time we get a downdraft, all kinds of conspiracy theories pop up! <g> Regards, Lee

Re: " The stock appreciated 33% over the next four months before Kurlak finally threw in the towel in December of 98, raising both his long term and short term rating with INTC at a split adjusted price of $60" You may very well have a valid point but remember hindsight is always 20/20. I remember (cause it cost me plenty) when Merryl's Tom Krulak's timing, and to me CNBC'S hype reporting, were the cause/excuse to stifle a run of Intel back then. To illustrate; yesterday BankOfBoston's Dan Niles changed his call on Dell and yes CNBC mentioned it and then went on to their more important agenda's. But this morning when Merryl -due to a new analyst, merely restated their call on Dell CNBC excessively reported it stressing as if it was a new downword warning. This gave the excuse to sell the stock to those who wish to manipulate it down. IMO Dan Niles change was much more of an indication than Merryl's new analyst's statement which really hadn't made any change. TTOSBT

>> Merrill Lynch can no more control the price of DELL in the long run than you or I can.<< The hell they can't and they do. It is one of the biggest scams of our times and it goes on all the time. Intel was under seize for almost 2 years until Kurlaq was given the boot. That infamous day trader from Atlanta should have vented his frustration at Merrill in stead of going after innocent people.

Merril has been on the sell side all morning but they do not seem to have a lot of volume. Hence, they have little clout against DELL. The stock is more likely being moved by daytraders who have been trading off CNBC reports this morning. Daytraders will short the stock and then buy it back before the close. If this theory is correct then DELL will pop upward in the hour before close due to these traders closing out their short day positions. NASDAQ is probably waiting for the CPI and PPI figures to confirm that there is little or no structural inflation. Seidman just said that while there is a tight labor market there is no significant inflation. There is a good chance that there will be no 1/4 rate increase on the 24th. JMO
