jhg in kc, Hi!!! RE: DELL BEING THE NEXT DELL.... Well, let's just say something simple....I have never had a private message or an individual in person tell me that Michael was anything but the same person of integrity that I first envisioned him to be almost 30 months ago...the story is old now...but, I first started to lurk on this thread during the early part of April....I had bought Dell in February and sold a chunk in March to buy that ring for our 25th anniversary...well, I watched it climb and climb and climb...every day wishing I had used a credit card to buy that ring...figure it out...three splits ago...well, anyway...Michael reminded me of a student I had had in school years ago...actually about the same age as Michael....this is the short version....integrity and keeping his word is what I focused on...then, there were the TV interviews...his smile of pride gave him away....I have seen this so many times as a coach or an educator....I will never bet against that smile and look....never.....then, there were the multitude of posts and links that I copied from this thread...without all this help I truly believe Dell would have slipped out of my portfolio...I have purchased Dell so many times since then I would have to count... since Math is a four letter word...let's just say I have quite a lot....Frankly speaking Michael has been the worst case scenario for someone continually buying Dell <<gg>>....why? Well, if he would tell the "whole truth about Dell"............Damn, I would have mortgaged the dog house if you know what I mean...this is why I cry out about "not having enough Dell"......IMO Michael and management have consistently underestimated the company....nice that they do....but, from a historical perspective....well, go figure if we all would have known what we know today...and, with Michael's quote from the conclusion of the CNN Fortune Newstand show...... (top of the shirt) "MORE OF IT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE THAN HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST"......you gotta believe it!!! And, surely if there was any doubt left....if you'd have seen what we all saw at the shareholders meeting...or on the private tour we received of the building that is occurring....there is no room for skepticism...NONE!! BUY ALL THE DELL YOU CAN...now! Best, Kemble
