T.R. Hi!!! <<<<I'v missed more than a few postings...>>>>> and <<<<<Wishful thinking...>>>> Having been away from this thread for awhile you missed a great deal....but, simply speaking the bearish sentiments that cruised the thread for quite sometime...did, bring out some incredible info from members that are bullish....Now, I think we could ask for some less rude people commenting against Dell...but, then we wouldn't have had the humorous and sarcastic responses out of some of the dellheads....all kidding aside I perceive Dell being stronger than ever....and more assured than ever that this is a company which not only professes to be just as great as the last seven years.....Dell currently is showing signs of proving just that...It obviously would take me too long to explain my reasons behind that statement but I have many posts copied that convince me of just that.......many thanks go out to the research and commitment of many on this thread....if you followed this battle; it was trying on your patience; but, the gain in knowledge that poured onto this thread further increased my belief in the overall strength of Dell going forward. As to the wishful thinking of 100 by friday....1. I feel the Asian crisis is past for Dell....too many know of your comment with regards to the component costs....2. CPQ announcement with regards to NC's is proof that Dell management is once again correct....3. CPQ earnings should bolster Dell this week...so, 6pts.???Why not??? Best, Kemble.

re: DELL split For those of us who have followed DELL for a couple of years (last 3 splits), it appears to be DELL's policy to split when the stock gets to the $80-100 range. Since it has been there since last August, we were actually expecting a split last quarter. Someone on the thread, (I believe it was Jim Kelley or Patrick) called investor relations in November I think, and got the following answer: (Gisted) DELL was considering another split. However, after discussing it with their analysts, who felt that it would be too 'gimmicky' in light of the Asian situation, decided to postpone any such action. If you check the thread posts between mid-October and end of November, you can find it. Or Kemble may have the post in one of his notebooks. Bottom line: in the middle of last quarter, DELL felt it was doing well enough to discuss split with its analysts. Regards, 3.
