Freeus I am sorry that you are losing money. However all is not lost. You can buy 1 share of intc with one share of dell(at today's prices). That is one heck of a deal! I wrote a negative piece about dell when it had rebounded to $92(day after the crash). Even though the share price has gone down by $17 since then, I still don't think dell is a good value for money(maybe it willbe a bargain when it hits $20). I don't have enough capital to short dell any more(since I am now fully invested in intc), so I don't have a vesed interest in "bad mouthing" dell. Its a really bad idea to hold dell on a margin account. Just my humble opinion.

Freeus, If you take the margin call out of the picture, and the worry it gives you, you could be more relaxed with these flucuations. Its hard to do, in your position, that's for sure. If you were to look at the dell chart, over the long term, all you see is blips of buying opportunities. It hasn't disappointed in 14 quarters. If this is truly the beginning of the bear market, I would expect that there would be more evidence of it. I don't see it. We need an end of bad news, that's all it will take to move it again. I'm expecting the Dell report to be some good news to the Naz. It has in the past. Intel says computers are selling. WDC says hard drives are being dumped on the market at low prices, their problems has nothing to do with pc sales. There is too much in favor of a good Dell report. CPQ didn't make that whisper number, but in real life, its the worry that the low cost pc's won't be enhancing their revenues much. Just more fodder, CPQ sells more than low cost computers. Eventually, we will be singing dell's praises again, if the past is a predictor of the future.

Get off margin ASAP...its the worst way to live worrying about these stocks. Been there, done that. Also...DELL and the techs are not done falling yet. The buy on the dipsters have been rewarded greatly for the last 10 years but as always, things change. Some people take longer than others to "come around" that stocks do not go up forever and its very possible to lose money in the market...Good Luck to You. Cowboy Brett

I'm in the same boat as you. I remember when the dow dropped over 500pts. I made a couple stupid mistakes and I will never sell my stock based on fear. The market doesn't look too good but if you remember back in March..It didn't look so good. Coms fell from 80 to 20"s Csco fell to 40s Dell fell over 10pts There is an awful lot of $$ waiting on folks like us to give away our stock so they can get rich. I still have hope in the market but today was tough. I'm holding on to my dell . Cpq-bay< wdc-CRAP> will go first. I've got a clean master card and visa.5-7% intrest.
