LT: DELL is topping. Where that top will be I don't know. I thought 65 would top it off, and it ran a little higher. Why didn't you buy and hold DELL until DELL hit 65 and then sold it for a nice profit? You don't believe in profits. Is it some kind of a sin to make money in your book of values? You have been bearish on DELL and everybody is making money on DELL except you. I feel hurt to see you come here, make all these bearish statements, see DELL go up and you are left with your vacuous statements. Come and join us and make some money. JPR

Lucretius, as my dear old Dad says, opinions are like a$@holes...everybody's got one. Anyway, eventually you will be right. I don't agree that the end is coming tomorrow, the next day, or next week. I'll let the thread know when I trim/sell. Regards, LoD

Hi LT, Re: this POS is an accident waiting to happen to the downside. POS? I didn't realize Dell was in the cash register business. ;-) Seriously, man, I wish you the best of success. Please reconsider your model -- technology does not fit into the traditional model of the markets. Why not? Well, in about 12 years we're going to have a breakthrough that will either kill us quickly or give us 24 hours a day of free time. See, laziness is the mother of invention, and who wouldn't rather not work than work? So far, machines already do a lot of the work for us. Soon, they'll do all of it. And yes, I truly believe that money won't matter in that future. So why do I care if you lose money now? I want everyone to be as happy as they can be. And if you invest in Dell, you'll be able to enjoy the expensive toys while they're still expensive. This is why we live in a disposable economy -- technology makes things better, faster, and cheaper. Why repair something when it won't have all the new features? This trend will continue to its ultimate end, nanotechnology, at which point we can convert the landfills into cities. I see two major parts to life: being alive, and being dead. Optimists yearn for life; pessimists, it seems, yearn for death. Both of them have been dying for millenia. Technology will change all that (it's already had a beneficial effect on our lifespan). I may be exuberant about this new technology, but it is completely rational exuberance. I hope you read up on this because it will affect the markets. See my profile for details. But if not, well, you can always declare bankruptcy twice before it arrives. Good trading, KenB
