re having bad feelings about DELL short term That has been worrying me too and although I dont want to do anything in my taxable account (but it has margin!!!!) I am wondering about the same thing. It may still hop up right before earnings however. As usual I'm not sure what to do, I think I'll look at some graphs and get back to you.

Earth to Dennis, come in Dennis. If you didn't notice, Dell went up 5+ points Thursday when the fed cut rates. Just thought I would pass that along in case you were not paying attention. If you are going to short Dell before earnings, you are cruising for a bruising. :o) Drew

Dennis: I just looked up DELL on the charts. Try: dorseywright.com (You can get a free two week trial. I just started mine, after going to one of his seminars.) DELL is in a tanking industry The industry outlook (stock wise) is negative. But DELL is a buy. Its outlook is positive!!!!!!! Of course thats what the news has been telling us too! Freeus

That Greenspan then cut rates on Thursday by another quarter point suggested to many analysts that the Fed chairman had wanted a half-point cut in the first place, but had not been willing at that time to force a showdown over the issue with committee members who still see a potential threat from inflation. -------------> Definition of the Day: The Heisenberg Principle You can never simultaneously know both the exact speed and direction of a particle, without in some way, effecting it. -------------> Philosophical thought for the day: The Internet is the wiring of the collective consciousness of mankind.

1) Dell's price didn't drop after Greenspan cut the interest rates. There was a significant net gain, even after Friday's profit taking. 2) Dell's performance this quarter is very consistent with the way it has behaved in the past two quarters. In the first quarter, it hovered for a long time in the 60's (pre-split, of course) before vaulting into the 90's in the weeks prior to the May earnings announcement. Then, in the second quarter, it fell back to as low as the high 70's before rising to about 110-120 at the time of the earnings announcement and the split. This quarter, there's plenty of time for a move into the 80's prior to the November earnings announcement. The big moves usually occur in a matter of a few days or a couple of weeks, and you never know precisely when that is going to take place. Better to be fully invested at all times with this stock. Otherwise, you might miss the party.
