whip, when people name themselves after companies they are definitely emotional. they will do ok as long as dell does ok. if it crashes the dellionaire remarks will stops and the delluted comments begin. if dell is great at $65, what is it at $60? $55? $50? $45? $40? ooops, out of cash now, time to go on margin. $35? $30? $25? $20? ooooops, i'm on the corner selling newspapers now...

WS, I think they are going to be more like the woman who hit the $35 million jackpot and then was told that the slot machine malfunctioned so she didn't get the money. <G> Had it been me, I would have been on a tower with a scoped rifle and a good view of the employee parking lot of that casino. And after that, I would have gotten mad. <G> MB

I am sitting here listening to Big Al Greenspan talk about gradually liquidating LTCM so as not to cause a panic and get better prices. Sorry to say it Al, but I think everyone would have been a lot better off if they had just let them liquidate on their own. This is anything but orderly. Just amazing. What do I have to do to get them to come save may ass the next time I get a margin call ?? How do I get one of those loans to margin up to my gills ? Maybe I could buy a bunch of GTW. <gg> Of course, I don't ever use it. I have a little '87 experience that keeps that from ever happening again. Thank goodness they had 5 day settlements back then or I would have been toast. I think he said something about systems never work. He needs one of those new phones to clear up his expression of ideas. WS
