Ok I don't have the full report yet (have to subscribe to get it) but here is the teaser: "Buy the "BULLIES" Maybe the Justice Department doesn"t like Microsoft, but we do. As investors, that's our favorite sort of company to own--a ruthless competitor, near monopolistic, with deeper pockets than anybody but the U.S. Treasury. It's simple, really. When you own market leaders, you immediately slash your risks 80% to 90% or more. The stocks of dominant companies are much less volatile than others...they seldom plunge like hyped-up small stocks do...and when they do slip, they tend to rebound right on past their former highs. While even great companies can go bad over time, you get plenty of advance warning to get out before any permanent damage. And in the meantime, you can safely pocket regular, steady, quite spectacular profits every time a world-class company like Microsoft flexes its marketing muscle." And for the Dell thread here is a tidbit: "Today, the key product of the new technology economy is the personal computer. About 450 million are in use today, and another 100 million will ship this year. In fact, about 80% of all the computer power that has ever been shipped...was installed in the last two years alone! And although the technology boom still has a long way to run we can already identify the General Motors, Chryslers and Fords of the new economy. The five dominant companies you must own are Applied Materials, Intel, Cisco, Microsoft and Oracle. Before long, we'll probably name some more companies to this Hall of Fame--maybe Dell, America Online or MCI WorldCom. But right now, there can be no argument that these five companies completely dominate their respective industries. Hey Dell is right there! TTOSBT
