Jim P., you assume that my basis in DELL is $95! I have a long, long way to go before I ever get close to my DELL being a market performer for the last 3 years. Could you justify selling and paying capital gains on an almost 1000% gain? (I know such a gain is probably foreign to you, but try to imagine it anyway.)

Sincerely disappointed in your investment acumen,

LoD

WoW! what a powerful stock DELL is. Missing its whisper number brought the entire tech sector down. <<<GGG>>>

Hi Jim Patterson; Regarding that whisper number...

My (admittedly simple) read of human nature is that
everybody knew DELL was going to have good numbers.
So they waited until the numbers were out before
selling. Fact is that they didn't know what next
years numbers were going to be like.

Incidentally, TXN peaked last fall at the release
of an earnings announcement generally thought
to be positive.
