We are green on 50% of the normal volume in the first hour of trading. It looks like a good day for Compaq. NW

El, By the time you turn back the computer again, hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprise. If Dell is worth $70, CPQ is worth at least $50! Mike

Michael Capellas couldn't carry Michael Dell's jock strap!">> Very true and I sold DELL last for a lousey 1+ on a trade,, others agree with you-- read these while the pig wallows,,, Dell (Nasdaq:DELL) was upgraded by several brokerage firms, including Bear Stearns from attractive to buy and Robertson Stephens from buy to strong buy. Shares of the computer company rose 3 1/2 (+6.83%) to 54 3/4. Dell Computer (Nasdaq:DELL) was the focus of investors in the tech sector today, as shares of the computer maker moved up 6.83% (up 3 1/2) to 54 3/4 on a host of positive news. First, Robertson Stephens senior electronics analyst Dan Niles at Robertson Stephens upgraded his rating on Dell shares, saying "[W]e believe Dell has seen a continuing acceleration in its business following a tough fourth quarter." Niles also set a new price target of $65 on Intel shares by the end of 2000. Dell shares were also helped by upgrades from Bear Stearns and Banc of America Securities. Second, Dell's Chairman and CEO Michael Dell said late today that the company's previous issues with Year 2000-related purchasing slowdowns and component shortages are now resolved. Third, Dell said the company would announce a new deal with Ariba (Nasdaq:ARBA), a leading Internet business-to-business (B2B) company.
