Dellheads, Got this from Briefing.com this morning. Any comments? Computer Systems & Peripherals Brief: Round two of earnings season, as Hewlett-Packard (Tu), Dell (Wd) and Tandy (Fr) are set to report earnings... Consensus estimates are for gains of $0.88, $0.76 and $0.88... Though HWP could prove a stumbling block, look for Dell's numbers to rule the day and set the tone for the group in the days to come... All signs are that DELL will deliver another outstanding report... However, one caveat... Company is not prone to cautionary comments regarding future... Consequently, the slightest hint of troubles ahead would be taken as a big sell signal and the stock, trading at historically high valuation levels, would get hammered... Not likely, but something to keep in the back of your mind should you be considering trading on the report. Tx.

Patrick: .88 cents basic 2 for 1 Stays on track with current buyback I see a lot of 3 for 1, 5 for 1, and 5 for 2 talk, but if I recall at the last annual meeting, the shareholders voted to increase the share authorization to 1,000,000,000, and there are about 360,000,000 outstanding, issued shares. If the Board chooses to pay a stock-split dividend, then they will most likely go for 2 for 1, since they would not have enough authorized shares to do more. Now if the Board decides to make the split subject to shareholder approval, then of course, the game is entirely new since the shareholders can vote to authorize more shares. But my money is on a 2 for 1 split, payable as a stock dividend, and not subject to any shareholder approval.
