Pat: Please change my earnings est to 83 diluted and 3/1 split. Forget buyback. Have reviewed what happens to Dell price when split is in the wind Get 30 to 65 points gain, a 2/1 could put price at 88 before could say jack robinson. No good, too high. Am assuming Dell has taken full advantage of the recent market tanking to make best use of options to procure stock for employee compensation. With market up and seeming good for a month or two, and rather uncertain later, it seems there could be no better time for Dell to now make some major but unpredictable moves.Sunday euphoria tells me Dell will gain over 100% this year......
