Mohan What is Dell trading in after hours? Today all the ingredients were there for a great day in the techs especially with Dell. It seemed that we may be wrestling with MM and foes out there who make it a point to study our day to day post and make it their agenda to contradict the outcome of the masses. Do you think that this could be the case? I think I am going to be a little more careful in broadcasting my gut feeling and reasons as to how the market is going to end up each day. Too often I am wrong and fail to see why as often it just does not make any sense. Best Wishes Frank

Just checked out CPQ Direct - Hah! I bought a XPS R450 loaded last week for 3100+- CPQ "Prosignia", with a couple of components not so nice, was $3700+. I worry not.

Mohan...I just now heard the Nightly Business Report and they interviewed an analyst from Prudential who said Compaq may have trouble delivering on all their promises about selling Direct, like DELL does.....He even felt, and the narrator of this segment said other analyst echoed the sentiment, that CPQ's strategy may BACKFIRE..He said something to the effect CPQ's channel partners may feel slighted and push the IBM and other box-makers merchandise more than CPQ's...It was also stated on this news-piece that product on the shelf, in the stores, gets "old" real quick in the computer business...Eckart Pfeiffer then came on stating they were not going to drop the channel and go entirely internet.... All this tells me is CPQ is still going to struggle because they can't imitate DELL no matter how hard they try. DELL RULES!!!!! Regards, George

Hi Mohan, re:<< The 'street' can kiss my asset (a@#@$)>> What does the "(a@#@$)" mean??? <ggg> The problem with Dell is Dell. Because they have built such a successful reputation, everyone now expects them to walk on water. The question is...how long can they kept up this level of performance without missing a quarter? By missing, I don't mean posting a loss, just miss the estimate by a penny or two. Interesting...maybe I will sell before the end of trading tomorrow. See what happens, and then decide if I want to buy again. Sure, I can lose some money if the stock spikes up on Friday due to a blow out report on Thursday. I guess its a trade-off between risk and reward. What do you think? Stock Bull
