Meathead: During the last few months the good Ship Dell has been inspected stem to stern, top to bottom, keel to topsails.Individual parts have been run thru MRI scanners,Cat scanners, and tested for foreign objects, hidden explosives, cracks using magnets and dyes. Some uninvited inspectors have been on board making disparaging remarks about hull integrity and issueing dire warning of icebergs on the normally clear trading routes, and proclaiming the natives won't want or pay for the good to be delivered. The Captain and others have assured us all is well and is used to sailing in troubled waters, avoiding snags that might hole other ships. Happy New Year, and thanks for your informative posts. Have a good voyage in 1998. Sig

Meathead said "Margins and what is made in terms of dollars are two different things... you need to get this strait before you go long or short in the stock market." I mis-spoke this one. I meant the number of $$ make and not Margins. I ment to say "you cannot make as much money on a $1000 product as you can on a $2000 product." Here is a question for you Meathead. Forget what the company does for a moment. For a stock what is more important: The number of dollars made or Margins at any level ? In my 7 years in the investment business, the number of dollars made seemed to matter the most in the long run. I am sure that you disagree, But dollars made along with the number of Dollars expected always seems to surface as the ultimate indicator of stock direction. Jim
