hi sonki: hope you're doing well (happy belated mom's day) DELL: as of right now, i would have a entry price at 86.. 9 day ema. but if dell is still powerful (which it is), then maybe you might have to settle with 5 day ema buy @ 88.. now, this is all using today's data.. i have to see how much dell pullsback.. it might pullback below the 9 day ema and then we can see entry at 80 (21 day ema) CSS II: Analysis of DELL COMPUTER (DELL) Reviewed on 5/11/98 ************************** High: 94.938 Low: 90.250 Close: 90.375 Change: -1.375 (-1.4986%) Volume Today: 21,780,600 shares.

from briefing.com INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP. (IBM) 117 5/8 -1 11/16. Not everything is well with Big Blue today as a report indicates that mainframe buying intentions waned in the month of April, pressuring the stock lower. IBM has been counting on its big iron to carry load as the PC side of its business felt the ill effects of the inventory glut that has prevailed in the PC area for the past couple of quarters. While the decline in mainframe buying intentions may only be a one time event, it could be enough of a problem that may prompt Wall Street to lower ratings and earnings estimates. So far, Wall Street is giving Big Blue the benefit of the doubt, cautioning investors of the potential problem, but still keeping to their original estimates. According to First Call, IBM is projected to earn $1.51 in Q2 and $6.51 for the full-year of 1998. This compares with profits of $1.41 in Q2 on revenues of $18.87 billion and $6.05 for 1997 on sales of $78.5 billion. Should the lower trend in mainframe sales continue in May and June, expect earnings to get clipped, even though the PC sector is beginning to see better times. Lower earnings are also likely to result even as IBM begins shipping its new S/390 Generation 5 Server (G5) in the second half of 1998. While this new G5 series is expected to do well, it will probably not be enough to offset any major dip in mainframe sales. Hence, the upside for the stock seem very limited at the moment, until a better measure of buying intentions emerge. Without a clearer view of corporate buying patterns, expects future earnings cuts to put a lid on the stock.
