Extremely important numbers to me.
I could have covered at 9 in 1997
I could have covered at 12 or 16 in 1998
I could have covered at 34 in 1999
I could have covered at 38 in 2000
i could cover at 45 and 1/2 now- i would realize a loss so big that i don't have gains to take to use it up.
dell has not been mu or qcom and never will be
i should have shorted rambus or better yet gone long dell at 2. then, i would have sold dell too soon or if i held it now i'd take my gain and relatively gladly pay my tax or hopefully it would be held in my keogh

Strong PC Sales Seen, Despite Slowing
By John W. Schoen
Senior Producer, MSNBC


With demand for Internet hardware and wireless devices booming, sales growth for desktop personal computers continued to slow down in the second quarter. But industry profits are expected to be strong. And with slowing growth hitting PC makers very differently, they are responding with very different strategies
The latest figures from two widely followed research firms -- Gartner Group’s Dataquest unit and International Data Corp. -- show continued sluggishness in PC sales in the United States after a boom in sales last year. Part of the reason for the slowdown, analysts say, is that 1999 was a hard act to follow, as booming demand for sub-$1,000 PCs was fanned by $400 rebates offered by Internet service providers
