There were some huge buys on Thursday and Friday in DELL. It touched 127 5/8 and before anyone could blink it went north. After DELL's response Friday, it shot up 3 points afterhours and at that point my access to quotes was non-effective. I never liked a CEO who would tout their stock but in Mike Dell's case, he has set the record and that's gutsy! This guy at CPQ has some questions to revist before I can even begin to comprehend the angle he is taking. seczebra

I got the same reaction.. If I were to believe any of the speculation on this thread in the last 100 posts, it would be.. CPQ's problem is DELL's success in the server and desktop business. I can believe that there is some perception out there that CPQ has it's hands full with DEC and Tandem .. not to mention their BTO is not up to speed.. Business buyers of servers and desktops would prefer to deal with DELL that already has it's support system in place and working.. Why take a chance on CPQ.. I don't see price as an incentive to put yourself in jeopordy... Just my view.
