JP, Any scenario will work here! I can't see in my crystal ball what the buyers are looking at. If they can use the 'channel equipment', the equipment will move rapidly from the channel, and DELL would be on equal footing as soon as the channel is cleared. If the buyers want the 333's, then the channel will remain filled longer, but eventually cleared. In this case DELL will be only affected by the sales that are lost to the 'channel', but may have lost those anyway! It is so difficult to say which way it will go, and to come down on one side or the other, is to try to get in the position, somewhere down the line, of being able to say "I told you so!", which except for the 'ego' boost is not really 'productive'! I follow both the 'bulls' and the 'bears' as they both have value in any market. For every share that is sold, one is bought, except in a market 'crash' or free fall, where there are no buyers at any price! (Now that is a 'baddie') All that I can do is to plot the past performance using something like the SI charting, and read the news, follow the information that comes from various sources, turn the 'crystal ball' on high, 'flip a coin', rub 'budda' belly, and take my best shot! Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, and the only person I can be 'pissed' at is ME! I am just glad to have all of the opinions from those on the threads that I follow. Everybody is actively involved, regardless of the side that they personally hold. It is a little discouraging to see all of the 'nasty' bickering between the 'bulls' and the 'bears', since the 'market' will do whatever it does, sometimes based on advice from people who are only manipulating their own adgenda. JMHO, Ken
