I think no boo boo. Here is why. From the last DELL 10-K: Net sales......................................... $2,412 $2,019 $1,690 $1,638 Gross margin...................................... $ 524 $ 450 $ 373 $ 319 Income before extraordinary loss.................. $ 188 $ 149 $ 112 $ 82 Net income........................................ $ 188 $ 145 $ 103 $ 82 Income before extraordinary loss per common share(a)(b): Primary...................................... $ 1.01 $ .78 $ .58 $ .42 Fully diluted................................ $ 1.00 $ .78 $ .57 $ .42 Weighted average shares outstanding(a): Primary...................................... 185.8 191.0 194.7 194.8 Fully diluted................................ 187.0 192.0 196.2 196.8 Stock sales prices per share(a): High............................................ $ 72 3/8 $ 44 3/8 $ 28 5/8 $ 23 3/8 Low............................................. $ 37 13/16 $ 26 1/16 $ 20 3/16 $ 13 ¬ This shows that there is very little dilution in DELL stock to report. From the last 10-Q: Q3 Q2 Weighted average shares outstanding............... 360 364 From the last quarter we would expect the share outstanding to come in at approximately 356M. I computed it another way following DELLs method and this is to add about 30 to 31M shares to the actual shares outstanding of 326.434M. Regards, Jim Kelley
