hey, they were pushing back orders... that was a fact (I even gave you a press release from one supplier!) I thought this indicated a slowdown is business.. it was obviously more of an inventory mgt move so they could show the anlayst kiddies what low inventories they kept. So I was wrong, won't be the first time. get over it. Funny that many of the issues that other bears have brought up on this thread (that you say havne't been attacked) are the same issues I have brought up MULTIPLE times. I have REPEATEDLY discussed the fact that many US co's (DELL is especially bad) have artificially lowered salary exp because of options (therefore bloated earnings). When the mkt stops roaring higher, these options will no longer be wanted, and the 20 yr long ponzi scheme ends, and not only do co's have lower earnings because the US goes into recession when the mkt finally ends its run and collapses because so many of the public are in the stock mkt, but co. exp's begin rising at the same time becuase they have to actually pay employees instead of having the gullible public pay them for them thru options. So earnings take a DOUBLE hit! IMO, that is what we have to look forward to once this bubble is fully deflated, and we've just begun the defating process. I don't know when this mkt will make the final voyage down, but my guess is when WE least expect it and probably soon. -Lucretius

Chuzz, I've finally figured our friend LT out. He's living proof of the concept of parallel universes. He lives in a universe that is superficially the same as ours, but has some subtle differences. Normally there can be no contact between these universes, but somehow LT manages to coexist in his and ours without realising it (maybe SI is some sort of gateway). In his universe dell is obviously not the company that it is in ours, hence the content of his posts to this thread. Spooky or what? Peter (tongue firmly in cheek)
