3, How about songs Michael Dell could sing at the annual meeting? 1. Come fly with me, come fly, come fly away. 2. I'm a leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again. :o) Any ideas anyone?

3 They seem, or at least the shorts the visit us here, to have a dour look out. I feel for them, even if they hate us. On another note. Why anyone would use this thread as a gage of investor sentiment, is beyond me. Greg

Good evening Bachman, One of the things that really tickles my funny bone is the observation that many market watchers make that it is a big mistake for investors to think "it's different this time". Yet that is precisely what the bears do. Almost all concede that Dell is a profitable, well-managed company. Yet lemming-like, they proceed to this thread and fling themselves into the abyss screaming "this stock is different this time". Apparantly they haven't noticed the bear carcasses on the cliffs below. At least Fink had the good sense to put in a stop-loss. It is madness to short on the basis of timing the market or valuation of a growth company! TTFN, CTC

3, Now I know that some of us are happy with the way the market has gone. Had the market gone the other way (which it may some day) a different group would be preaching about how they were right. The market is a 'fickle' partner, and over time we will all be bruised. If the SHORT position is one you believe in, and you happen to lose some money, it is counter productive to rub ones face in it. If the LONG position loses money, it is counter productive to rub ones face in it! I want to hear the positions from both sides of the issue. Remember the saying "The BULLS make money, the BEARS make money, the PIGS lose money!" As an investor, IMHO, sometimes I'm a BEAR and sometimes a BULL. The market has about 3 BULL markets to 1 BEAR market, so I am more BULL than BEAR. It is easier and safer by about 3 to 1. This thread has provided much valuable insight into DELL and the operations there on which we can make our investment decisions. In the postings that I have read, it seems that those who have friends working at DELL are more BULLish than BEARish. I wonder what the people with friends at CPQ are saying? For me, the "I told you so!" eventually comes around to 'bite me'! Warmest regards, Ken
