Nope, never owned a share of DELL. The best companies are always over priced. Dell should be over $100 by the end of the week. One thing that i do agree with you on is that MU is a dog.

UPDATE: Dell Computer (DELL:Nasdaq) reported earnings of 44 cents per share after Tuesday's close, 2 cents above First Call consensus estimates for its April quarter. Dell earned 27 cents in its year-earlier quarter. The world's fastest growing box maker maintained its gross margins and its Asia-Pacific revenues, two key areas that analysts have been monitoring closely. Asia-Pacific revenues increased 35% year-over-year, while gross margins rose slightly to 22.3% from 21.6% in the year-ago quarter. In trading Tuesday, Dell's stock whipsawed between being up 1 13/16 at midday to down 3/4 by 3:45 p.m. EDT before finally ending up 1/16 to close at 94 9/16. The price action wasn't exactly the smooth send-up to earnings that analysts and investors were expecting, and one sell-side analyst argues that Dell might not have put up good enough numbers. "It's a penny below the whisper number -- I wouldn't be surprised to see the stock trading down Wednesday morning," says Lou Mazzucchelli, who rates the stock a buy. "But Dell's revenue numbers remain solid and gross margins improved, so overall I still like the stock." (His firm has not participated in any of the company's public offerings.)
