They have now added an earnings estimates link, and a corporate calendar link, where you can choose to be notified of specific events, and you can even choose which events and how many days in advance to be notified! Their investor relations, always good, seem to be getting even better!

Ref:Dell's ROIC

LPW:

Your confidence in Dell is quite infectious perhaps the following information on ROIC might boost the degree of confidence to a more acceptable level.<VBG>

"I don't know of any stock that compares to Dell - they have an ROIC of **186%** and the mantra of '186% ROIC' keeps me adding every month...

I wonder where you got the above number????

Dell's ROIC for

Feb 1,1998 217%

Disciplined Asset Management Fuels Record ROIC

Dell again set the pace for the industry in asset management, generating $457 million in cash from operations and ending the first fiscal quarter with $2.4 billion in cash and marketable securities.

Inventory turned 46 times, on an annualized basis. In absolute dollar terms, Dell has maintained approximately the same level of inventory over the past two years, even as its revenues grew by more than $7 billion over the same period.

Return on invested capital (ROIC)-a fundamental measure of asset efficiency-was a record 229 percent in the quarter, which was more than four times the rate of the nearest major competitor.
