HI, I was wondering what your thoughts on Dell were for the next 2-4 months. Will it be able to reach $85 after Q3 announcements?

Of the companies I've worked for, I far prefer the ones that give their employees ownership of the company. Less "us vs. them" and more financial independence. The only drawback is losing some good people because they can now afford not to work -- but that's much more acceptable than theft, sabotage, inefficiency, and all the other problems that go along with no ownership. My wife is from Brazil, and we discuss capitalism frequently. She says people are too materialistic here, too concerned with money, but my response is that is what has made us the world's superpower. We reward individual effort. In a communist country, Bill Gates would rather be a janitor, as he'd be making the same money and have none of the headaches of running a multi-billion dollar business. I really feel for the Russian people, as they can't escape their broken system. To close -- I absolutely agree with you, and every company I start will have employee ownership. Cheers, KenB

Stockman Scott, (et al) re: employee loyalty to Dell Last weekend I was talking to a neighbor (Compaq employee) who said a friend of his quit and went to Dell in 1996 to work in HR. At the time, Dell was going through a cash flow problem so they offered lower salaries with stock options. His Dell stock is now worth well over $25MM AND he plans to continue working at Dell even though he is financially set for life. Now THAT is loyalty. I quit the company I was with for 16 years, once I could do it financially. I really admire the dedication the Dell employees have. ...and the thought of Management giving a 200 share bonus in appreciation of the employees is not seen that often in companies. If it was, maybe there would be more companies having the stupendous performance that Dell has had over these past years. Gary
