Jim: I thought you might have missed my response to your last note, so am posting it again. ----------------------------------------------- Sorry if I appear dense, but I don't understand your logic on this. You "hate this company with all the passion in the world" because: 1) some "inventment professionals have made a career from this stock" and without DELL they would be "also rans", and 2) because of "all of the people on this thread that are so fanatical about the whole thing." Why do these 2 things make you hate a company?

Hi Jim, I won't argue with you because I know that won't do any good.....you are sticking to your guns. That's o.k. I'm interested Jim...which stock blew up on you? As to whether DELL is a commodity boxmaker or not........well that subject has been discussed many times before. I'm of the opinion that it's not. Ian

JP, >>> If a seller shows up, and when I say a seller I mean someone with 10 million shares to unload, The reasons for selling or buying won't matter. <<< OK, let's analyze this! If a 'seller' does show up with 10 million shares to sell, they won't 'dump' it all at once because 'nobody' could 'fill' that order in a 'timely' fashion, and while the initial shares would bring the 'highest price', the 'latter' shares would suffer serious value erosion by the time they were sold, and consequently, the overall sale price would be lower that if the shares were traded in smaller blocks! I don't believe that any 'seller' would want to sacrifice a profit to just 'crash' a stock! So now we would have the 'dribbling' effect of stock transfer from a 'seller' to a buyer! 10 million? How do they count the trade now? Is a 14 million share day 7 million sold and 7 million bought? Any way it goes, it seems to me that a 10 million 'seller' day plus the rest of the sales, would just be looked at as 'heavy trading' for that day! JMHO Regards, Ken
