guess our boy Lucretius forgot to check the news on Dell himself today..LOL Remember the Gatorade ad campaign, "I want to be like Mike (Michael Jordan)." Well, apparently Mike Capellas, Compaq's (CPQ 13.90 +0.40) CEO, has decided that he wants to be like Lou (Gerstner)... Or at least he wants his company to be more like IBM... In a stunning announcement, CPQ has decided to throw in the towel on the hardware business and emphasize software and services... On its surface the move makes sense in that the PC business has slowed down, pricing is very competitive and software and services are higher margin businesses... But before we applaud Capellas for his "vision," let's remember that the company has basically floundered under his management... And now he wants to steer the world's number one PC maker in a completely different, unproven direction, and we're supposed to jump aboard... No thanks. New course makes CPQ a major question mark for the foreseeable future and a stock we would avoid... On the flip side, news that CPQ will de-emphasize its PC business is good news for chief rival Dell (DELL 24.25 +0.84)... Company's reputation and low-cost business model leave it well positioned to steal the majority of CPQ's market share. Aside from the CPQ news, Monday was relatively quiet... Nasdaq fought through weakness in the blue chip indices to post a modest gain... Net stocks were among the best performers, as traders began speculating that the dot-com advertising market has bottomed... Gainers included Yahoo! (YHOO 19.77 +2.46), DoubleClick (DCLK 13.61 +1.52), eBay (EBAY 71.04 +3.25) and Amazon (AMZN 12.81 +0.41)... Generally, however, traders were reluctant to take big positions ahead of Wednesday's decision by the Fed. rok
