Protect you profits with stop orders. That's what I'm planning on doing. I respectfully disagree on this plan. What makes you think a stop loss will protect your profits. Earning are announced before or after market. It's been my experience to lose more with stop loss. (timing is to difficult) Besides, what make you believe Dell has to miss for the stock price to go down. This year I have seen more stocks go down following positive earnings surprises. If you really believe Dell will tank after earnings sell tomorrow and short DELL. Then you will really know what PAIN is. Trust Michael Dell, He did not want shareholders to increase shares from 1 billion to 3 billion for nothing. Relax Mikie's at the helm. Please don't take offence with my reply. But, give it some serious thought beforehand. Donald

Eddie: <<<<Protect you profits with stop orders.>>> I tried that one time only in 1996.Never again. They sold some shares at 50, I had to buy them back at 70. Dell can turn on a dime. It was sitting around $110 one day, when Intc ( I believe it was) dropped 22 points. Dell followed it down to 99.5, and then a few hours later Dell was back up to 109. Have also seen Dell drop from around 80 to 71, spin around and gain 8 points in a matter of hours. I guess you would say its more volatile than Cpq Now that you are 'into' Dell, would hate to see you lose it, as it has a great future. Sig
