What I dont understand is why DELL trades at such high premiums when CPQ has projected earnings growth of 28% (Compared to 32% for DELL (from Zacks) and has increased market share(with largest growth coming from USA(see Oct 27 news on Yahoo)), is the market leader.... also surprised analysts with earnings like DELL and yet trades for a reasonable multiple of 20 something. I just dont get it. What makes DELL almost twice as attractive as CPQ?? Additionally, when J. Cramer was out buying on Tuesday morning... what did he say he bought... DELL ... uh NO!! Compaq (at 69). Can some of the DELL faithful convince me to buy DELL instead of CPQ??
