there you have it:

...He notes that Dell, which he is short, and Gateway (GTW:NYSE - news) have launched some pretty aggressive advertising and rebate campaigns recently...

that's it. that's the clue - aggressive rebate programs!

what this jingoist fails to communicate is that the "aggressive rebate programs" are designed to clean out the dead wood in preparation for aggressive upgrades. their "aggressive rebate programs" ALWAYS HAPPEN THIS TIME OF YEAR JUST PRIOR TO XMAS.

let's call the kettle black. these guys are holding hands and necking behind the brokerage schools.

CPQ dealers are trying to clear off as fast they can. Shows a strong price reductions in the market, bringing profits down.
I still think Dell will make its .25 in the 3Q. I don't know whether they will o the .27 I expected them to do. I am afraid that we won't see the 50 for this year.
I did buy some more at 39 1/2.
