Mohan, Thanks for the article. I agree with Albers on his choice of Dell; but value is difficult to determine, (as has been pointed out here before) and I don't see how he compares Dell value with ORCl value. Value, as measured by conventional means, fails to measure the intellectual capital, growth, and management innovations of companies. Just my opinion. Thanks, Lee

mohan, your article sums it up nicely. What is greenspan saying below? is he saying there is no deflation? sunw is the best value stock from all that is mentioned (orcl, sunw, dell) barron has put sunw on pedestal this weekend. Faulty data cloud U.S. deflation debate--Greenspan CHICAGO, Jan 3 (Reuters) - A growing debate in the United States over the potential threat of deflation is hampered by faulty price measures and lacks clarity, U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said on Saturday. In his most detailed comments on the issue yet, he avoided taking a stand on whether a danger of falling prices existed in the U.S. economy but said this force could be at least as destabilizing as a pickup in the general price level. ''Even if deflation is not considered a significant near-term risk for the economy, the increasing discussion of it could be clearer in defining the circumstance,'' he said in a speech prepared for delivery to the American Economic Association. Inflation had declined to the point where even an upward bias of a few tenths of a point mattered, he said. ''Inflation has become so low that policymakers need to consider at what point effective price stability has been reached,'' he noted. Turning to Asia, he said a gradual fall in asset prices had contributed to the recent financial crisis there, but added that in most cases this type of deflation could be absorbed by the economy. ''But historically, it has been very rapid asset price declines -- in equity and real estate, especially -- that have held the potential to be a virulently negative force in the economy,'' he said.
