Dennis, Congratulations on owning a wonderful company. Trying to time Dell is a fool's game with the possible exception of picking good buying points. As Kemble keeps saying "Just watch Mikey's smile and keep BUYING MORE DELL!!!! VRG

Dennis, re:I know having all your eggs in one basket is foolish but I also don't want to fight a trend.. Wellcome, The above is a popular investing method practice by brokers, advisers, and anyone who would gain by you the investor having many stocks to buy and sell so they make more money.. Hold your DELL and if the DELL story unfolds like most us long term holders think, one year from now you wonder why you didn't buy more. So sit back and enjoy, and remember this, most of what you hear is noise... Greg

Welcome Dennis: We invite you to become a DELLHEAD! Some notable quotes: "Diversification is expensive insurance" (heard from a Dell employee at the annual meeting in July.) On the back of our new Tshirts, designed by Kemble who I'm sure you've heard about (and if you havent you will) "More of it will happen in the future than has happened in the past" (Referring to the meteoric rise of Dell the company and Dell the stock.) Good luck to you...and hold your Dell...everytime I've sold some I've been sorry. My woes are all over this thread beginning last year!!!! Best wishes. Freeus

Dennis - welcome! I have to assume by your subscription to SI that you are interested in more than just buying Dell stock. You should be - although Dell is an excellent LONG TERM investment, and MM's can play day-trades around it to make a "living" it is, IMO, foolish to INVEST in only one type of "investment," particularly one stock. Diversify - get a portfolio going; Simplify - unless you want to spend 12 or more hours a day on a computer, don't attempt playing trades every day, or even every week, let alone the quagmire of day trading. Again, welcome to the Dell stockholder family! Mr. K.

Dennis, You will do fine. A small example of the cost of diversity. My daughter got $15,000 from her great grandmother in mid 1996. Being the smart stock picker that I was, I chose two stocks. AAPL and CDWC. A co-worker said, " DELL has been good to me the last year, why don't you try it?". So I said what the heck, why not. I split my eggs into these three baskets. Apple computer sold for around $28/share. Computer Discount Warehouse traded at around $40/share. At the time DELL was ~$46/share. The Apple proceeded down in the next 3+years to $13/share where I sold it for a tax loss of 50% (where-upon it tripled again from there). The CDWC went up to 72, down into the 50s, up to 75, down to 40. I finally sold it recently to buy just a few more DELL shares. The 100 DELL shares just split to become 1600 shares. If I had bought 300 shares of DELL instead of the rest, I might be paying for my daughters 1st house instead of just paying for college. By the way. She is 11 years old. Maybe we have time for that house after all. Craig
