>> Given that all the PC component makers are reporting slower sales, I figure the box makers must also be slowing since they are the buyers of the components <<

So you expect DELL to miss their estimates? Or warn going forward? DELL CFO said he was comfortable with estimates for this quarter and EPS are estimated to be 46 vs. 29 cents last year. That's 59% growth assuming they only match estimates.

>> Plus DELL is overvalued for current level of sales. <<

So what else is new? Not a good enough reason to go short.

Dell will be the only ones who do well in selling
in Asia. They've proved it once, and can easily do
it again. It will be interesting to see if the market
still gets the message. It is possible for companies
to use the Asia Flu to their advantage. DELL will
lead the way on this.

Roger,

Do you still have AMZN shorts that you accumulated at 76? And those shares you shorted at 30 (split adjusted)? Guess that you have covered the latter batch. Just curious.

larry!
