Flamethrower, how do you know all of this? Until recently, we had a dedicated bear on the thread named Hank McNabb. If his posts are to be believed he probably lost considerably more than $100k in shorting DELL based on chart reading. Before him we had Candlestick and before him we had .... I think you get the idea. To invest on the basis of charts is like using a faith healer for medical advice. I know of no statistically validated timing strategy other than the January effect. All of the evidence in favor of chart reading and timing is strictly anecdotal, and those anecdotes are very selective. Regards, Paul

Flamethrower: I happen to agree with the typical dip occuring about 4 days after the splits. This time may be different. There is no question at all that Dell is now a well known hyped darling of the street, it is also getting better known to the public thru the new TV and paper ads They have come thru the Asian flu with flying colors. No 'warnings', no lesser expectations for next quarter as so many companies have to say today in their reports.Rock solid,but there are some questions on msft and the 'suits', cpq and their digestion problems, intc and the threat of increased competion from amd and cyrix.? etc, Uncertain crude oil prices in the oil stocks. I think the street will keep buying Dell to please their boss, to make money, and even just to say they own it. So I am looking for perhaps a 5 point drop after the split, but that would still leave the price higher than it is today and would not be worth waiting for.. After March tenth, it will be obvious just how erroneous this kind of "fine tuning" can be, since there may be a war going on.... So I have to say "buy anytime" Sig
