<< Just watched Mikey on CNBC.

I don't think he gets it.
The stock market does not care about market share.
The stock market does not care Return on Equity
The stock market does not care what he thinks

The stock market only cares about beating the number,
and he did not do that very well this time.

That was not a fair statement. M. Dell was not on CNBC to boost the stock but to state what he knows about the company!

Are you two finished yet ? This is the same broken record stuff you've been carping about for 6+ months while Dell continues to out perform the competitors, gains market share, opens new enterprise storage systems, leads the world in Internet sales, expands geographically and delivers shareholder value.

Wake up and come out of your terminal denial. You may not like the multiple, but you can't deny the performance, past, present and future. The market disagrees with both of you and has for a long time.

I don't believe that the equity market in today's information age values stocks in the same way as the industrial age that some people are mired in !!!

All vital signs are strong for continued growth.

If you've got a better choice..go for it. I'm keeping Dell in my portfolio and accumulating on the dips.

on the contrary, I think he understands the game quite well. He knows he has to keep this pig moving higher in order to pay his salary expenses (he can worry about that slowing end demand problem later) He knows he has to continue to talk it up, over the fun is over. His soaring stock price is even great advertising for his business. Everybody knows of "DELL the stock that goes up every day" He knows that it will all end some day.. but then again he sold a few million shares this Summer so what does he care. He'll just continue to sell a few million every qtr or so, and then when the pig implodes... what does he care?

however, I think he has underestimated the mania behind his stock. Manias require ever increasing WONDERFUL news to keep going or they exhaust themselves and end in disaster.

the hard core DELL holders will likely buy every dip at first, seeing it as the buy opp of the century (LOL), but once they run out of moeny... then the fun starts. Because DELL is a mania, those that play it must be broken. Until they are broken, (and I mean really broken) this thng will continue to slosh around in a speculative frenzy.

I do think it is OVER.

JP:
You are a very naive person.
The big boys (the ones with the money) on Wall St. do care about all those things you mentioned.
Yes, beating the number is VERY important with a growth stock like Dell, but all that boring stuff matters to money managers, those guys with the LARGE pocket books.
The most important factor with growth equities is gross margin expansion. That was flat this time. This is why the stock tanked.
