Lisa, it would be surprising in this brief economic slowdown if some Dell salesmen didn't meet their quotas. But there is no evidence yet that Dell is not continuing to grow at 2 to 3 time s the industry rate. My worry is that there are so many speculators who own Dell that should its numbers not be perfect, the stock will take a big hit in 1999. The MOtley Fool has a good discussion of this in re Dell. jhg

Lisa i watched this game last time when people expected the USUAL run up to earnings which DID NOT HAPPEN and they lost money Are you talking about the previous quarter? I seem to remember losing a lot of time value in August but recouping the same value in actual dollars after the earnings announcement. Granted I only came out with a profit because of said announcement and did not benefit from any run up. However, notwithstanding the fact that DELL has to execute perfectly to keep climbing the way it normally does, the fact that they announce a good few days before options expiry should be good for call holders IF they exceed expectations shouldn't it? Looking for a bit of wisdom/guidance here.
