El,re:"DELL...". What kind of stock CPQ is, range is 31.75 to 32. Bid,ask: 31 13/16,7/8. (1/16 spread). POISED to go up or down. Any TA opinion would be appreciated. It's kind of 'the worst maybe over' but the future is nowhere certain, ain't going to buy it at any price? A 3 month target of 40 and nobody wants enthusiastic about it either. Maybe the PC industry is TOO competitve? I still think MSFT is the sole beneficiary of all these PC trends: better company for much better price. It's so affordable.

El- You must admit that Cramer's comment ("too much competition") is pretty ridiculous....the PC market has always been intensely competitive...plus, this quarter, price declines have decreased dramatically from Q1 and Q2....so one could easily make the argument that it is less competitive than in the past... Although I enjoy Cramer's musings, no individual can properly keep up with as many stocks as he tries to follow...His desire to explain things in cute sound bites does not make for good investing advice... Listen to him at your own risk....(I will give him credit, however, that his returns have beaten most mutual funds over the last few years)...
