I was VERY disappointed last year when I bought DELL, and then sold it for a quick, but small gain and then watched in horror as it rose 300% without me. That, my friend, was a major disappointment! Christian, The same thing happened to me. I bought a year ago and was advised to take my profits after a split. I sold and have lived to regret it. I kept waiting for it to go down and it never did so this time, I am hanging in there. Dorine

I remember a post on this thread from last year and it has stuck with me. It was something like "Be out of this stock at your own risk."

Christian, Hi!! Sorry so late getting this message returned to you...was down in our home town for the holidays.... Glad you have the same feeling so many of us did for some period of time...I guess I forget to add..."Dell hasn't disappointed anyone yet....UNLESS YOU SOLD IT..." So many of us have those soul bearing confessions...trust me sold a portion of Dell in March of 96...three splits ago!!!..bought a 25th anniversary ring for the wife with the profits....BIG MISTAKE...the ring is now worth....oh forget it....I start to cry everytime I think of what it would be worth...but, the great story is I kept a portion...that got me started...been buying ever since......it hurts...but, knowing not to make the same mistake again is what is important...from following this thread I have learned one basic discipline.....TRUST MICHAEL....that is the key....his word and his name are on the box and that device he sells..... I understand he spoke on CNBC and told everyone 'NOT TO BET AGAINST HIM" .....I left for Philadelphia and had my daughter set the VCR,,,,we come home and presto....nothing....may have had a power outage...it was raining very hard when we left and all the way to Philly....so, I missed the speech....but, my friends across town saw it and filled me in this morning....when I heard them speak of his outright challenge I broke out in laughter...love it!!! "It ain't braggin' if you can prove it...." Don't bet against him... Keep buying Dell Best, Kemble
