ED: <<< Just tell me why and how that DELL could surpass CPQ by year 2000 ?>>> Present market cap, CPQ=53 bil, Dell 36 bil Price increase in Dell last year =200 % If continues for 3 years, market cap= 972 bil (not too realistic) Earnings increase for 9 months period ( from last annual report) equals 100 % If continues at lesser rate of only 100 % a year,market cap becomes 288 bil in 3 years Sales increase of 60 % for 9 months from last report , if continues at lesser rate of 50% a year for 3 years equals 122 bil Now cpq,having a much greater market share in many areas, will have much greater difficulty in growing at Dells rate, and will have to more than double their sales and earnings to keep up with Dell. So who is chasing who here???? Sig
