from Briefing.com as it has done so often in the past, Dell Computer could give the sector a much needed boost of confidence as early as Monday afternoon... Company due to report earnings on Tuesday... Street looking for a gain of $0.42, but based on DELL's history profit to be closer to $0.45-$0.46... So far, comments from company give investors no reason to assume that forward looking statements won't also be positive... If they live up to recent history, Dell's earnings news will take some of the sting out of the HWP debacle... industry to get a much needed boost this week, as Dell is scheduled to report earnings on Tuesday... Street looking for gain of $0.42, though we would be surprised if DELL didn'thandily beat the consensus... Big question is whether good news from Dell will pick up the entire group, or will investors reward DELL while punishing the laggards such as IBM, Compaq and Hewlett-Packard... Lean toward the latter though wouldn't be surprised by the former... Renewed inventory concerns in the PC group cut the heart out of the recovery rally in the disk drive industry... Stocks backpedalling once again... Weakness should be relatively limited, as much of the bad news is factored into the stocks already..
