Hi Frank, Don't panic. I know your bummed and frustrated but it could always be worse. I don't know if you caught a news story a few days ago about a DELL stock holder. This man started with 300 shares in 94/95 then kept adding. He then sold some to buy his wife a 13K diamond ring. He did continue to add and never sold. If he had not sold the shares to buy the wife a diamond ring those shares would now be worth 3 million. But either way he now has some 5+ million worth of DELL stock. JMHO of course but I'd hate to see you be even more bummed out in 2 years, when the stock turns around. And here's a little joke for you. Maybe I can at least make you smile a bit. On a train from London to Manchester, an American was berating the Englishman sitting across from him in the compartment. "You English are too stuffy. You set yourselves apart too much. You think your stiff upper lips make your above the rest of us. Look at me...I'm me, I have Italian blood, French blood, a little Indian blood, and some Swedish blood. What do you say to that?" The Englishman replied, "Very sporting of your mother." Try and have a nice evening!! Take Care Ann

It is easy for me to say after the fact. But, I think you panicked unnecessarily (been there and done that). If you are a bull there is one thing you can count on, lack of honesty from government, companies, and Wall Street alike. Wall Street snake oil salesmen are working full time to get their clients out of the mess they are due to their own incessant "strong buy" calls. Needless to say none of these suckers every did any research. Now that they have to unload a huge pile of paper Dell, they will come to the rescue with strong buys. Not to mention the possibility of another aggressive put selling by Dell. If Michael Dell weren't selling computers, he could be selling used cars or snake oil. Good luck!
