Mohan and All, It is without hesitation that everyone is hoping for Dell to post earnings well in excess of analyst expectation and also for the number to well exceed the infamous whisper numbers but is anyone taking any precautions if Dell for any reason surprises us with earnings not so robust or does not make any mention of a stock split. The market has been very disappointing lately and it would be most unfortunate IMO if Dell does not encourage or inject a little life and hope into this battered and torn market. Any Opinions??? Best Wishes for Dell hoping for .54 and 2 for1 stock split. Frank

Mohan, I think the explanation is that Dell has been caught in the market downdraft. It trades in a predictable pattern. If you want to have some fun, chart the %change versus 30 days ago. Dell's roughly ranges from 0 to +40%, with occasional dips below zero, as was the case in late 1997. We are now coming near the bottom of the latest downward move. Provided the markets don't go ballistic on the downside, we'll move up again in September. The chart indicates the 140 range then. Unfortunately, it looks like we'll stay pretty much where we are through earnings. Downside is limited to 100-102, unless the market goes bonkers. INTCfan
