Frank, I started with 1300 shares bought between 11/95 and 1/96 with an average price of $30 / share. My wife caught the bottom in 1/96 and she has a 40 bagger going. :o) Drew

frank, thought u would like this..A typical day for Dell Computer - up on heavy volume. Dell (DELL) leads the Nasdaq most active list, having traded 12 million shares so far. The stock has been a monster performer over the past year, having tripled in value just since January! The stock has been pushed higher in recent days since it reported excellent revenue and earnings numbers on August 18. and announced a 2-for-1 stock split. This was the second 2-for-1 split this year (the other was announced in February with that earnings report). The stock is hard to argue with, because the company's performance has been nothing short of stellar. The only downside here is that if DELL ever stumbles, watch out. It is now trading at a nosebleed 73 times earnings. Dell has posted revenue growth of over 50% each of the past six quarters, and profits were up 71% in the most recent quarter. Still, king of the hill Microsoft sports a price/earnings multiple of "only" 60. Perhaps that makes Dell the new king. Certainly DELL, the stock, is a top trading vehicle these days for the active crowd. Microsoft stock has flattened out the past couple of months, and even Amazon.com is in a trading range now since early July.FRANK WOUULD like to this part. DELL is where a lot of the action has moved for day traders looking for a big cap, brand name stock with excellent business prospects.
