John 0f 1996: Back then there weren't any tough bars to jump over. Dell just did its thing, 50%,100%, whatever they got was OK. Now a group of 30 some nit-picking know-it-all analysts are setting the bar, telling Dell what it must do within 1 /77 or 1.3% on revenues to earn their applause. How many times have analysts come within 2% of calling a stock price three months from today?? Yet they expect Dell to predict rev. within 1%. Hes a businesman, not a mathematician. They get parts shortages,cancelled or delayed orders, higher costs- sometimes earthquakes. Dell does provide guidance to the analysts, but not the exact figures. 2% more rev in those 90 days (2 days)and we would have all the marbles. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh Picky-picky. Sig
