To all, A friend of mine has been thinking of investing in DELL. She only has $30,000. She keeps asking the question " How much will I make on $30,000 in 2 years......3 years ?". Obviously I told her there is no way to see the future and therefor determine how much money she will make. I did however, give her my opinion and suggested she get 2nd, 3rd and fourth opinions. She is not a memeber of SI, as she has done no investing til now, but she has been checking this thread out while visiting with me and would like to hear opinions on what other people think $30,000 in DELL at current pricing, will be in 2 or 3 years. All opinions are welcome...but please, only legitamate...honest opinions are necessary. If you are bearish on DELL...no problem, thats fine, but please be sincere with your opinion(s). Thanks in advance...

11/05 04:45 Dell says Japan firms need to spend more on IT TOKYO, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Dell Computer Corp <DELL.O> chairman Michael Dell said on Thursday Japanese enterprises have not used information sufficiently to improve the productivity of their businesses. Dell, speaking to Japanese executives here, said the percentage of gross domestic product spent on information technology in Japan is much lower compared to those in the United States and other industrialised countries. "For Japan to be as productive with its capital as U.S., there is going to have to be a lot better information," he said. He said at a time when information is becoming more important than physical assets, "this represents a real challenge for companies ... who don't embrace these changes quickly as they should." Dell also said the company would continue to focus its resources on production of PCs in the next few years to further boost its global PC sales share from the current nine percent. "A 20 or 25 percent (market share) is probably about as much as we can have as a company in the next five years, without going to radically different fields," he added. Dell showed the strongest and steadiest sales growth in the third quarter in the U.S. and European markets taking advantage of its efficient direct-to-the-customer sales approach.
