Yaacov re: Dell is just a box maker and it stands where the other box makers belong, in limbo and disgrace! And an eagle is just a bird with feathers. Dell has continued to rake in the cash and to invest it in their back yard, while many were digging a six foot hole for what they thought was the death of the PC. Dell does not command a P/E of nearly 200 like a few miracle companies (CSCO) with lesser growth to Dell, but that is not an issue for long term investors like yourself. It may be a safe bet (without the 50% downside risk) for a stock growth spurt given the turn around of analyst opinions, firming prices, new revenue sources, repaired geographic segments, etc. Time will tell for sure, but when the money shows (above the normal red hot growth) it won't be a Red Sea event but it will be nice. Cheers, Mike

RE: Kemble, there is a limit to empty hopes! Miracles? The last one occured when Moses led my forebearers across the Red Sea! So pls. take look arround you and be more objective! Dell is just a box maker and it stands where the other box makers belong, in limbo and disgrace! This sector has lost the luster, at least for know! Regardless what Mr. Dell like to call his company, or what color he paints his horse, the Street doesnt care! I believe your fore bearers were in slavery quite a few years prior to Moses leading his people out of Egypt... :o) Give DELL a fraction of that time to prove to everyone your statement is full of ignorance..If you don't have patience or the time to do some homework sell or short it...

Yaacov: If you go to this post of June 1997 then to the next ten and the previous 10 then all the posts are readable and the discussion was a possible $200 for Dell when it sold for $124: Message 1647727 Two months later Dell was 170, in 3 months it was $200, March '98 was 286, June '98 was 372, Aug 480, and feb 99 was $880 and today around $800. There were also some brilliant comments made about CPQ acquisitions before its fall.(sob)And discussion of a Japanese keyboard(G) Summary: The point I want to make is that $200 seemed an outrageously bullish figure at the time, yet Dell actually went to $880 within 19 months. Today we are talking $70 or $80 as a bullish figure, yet the actual underlying company is still " building up a storm", adding 50% to personnel in one year, etc. If Dell( stock price) grows at only half its past rate, it would reach $175/sh in 19 months. Dell is one bear-killing stock, the direction now is again "up". It has and will continue to confound detailed analysis as to how far. Regards ( but Hey, some of those were your posts)g Sig
