I think investors sobered up when I pointed out that their customer service sucks <g>

Yes, Mike, I have. sigh I was working on pleadings the day Dell hit 70, did not know until too late, and have been greedy, waiting for it to hit 70 again before I sell it. Yesterday, I went over my Scottsdale trade history for the year, looked over what everything had done since I started this summer. A lot of things I sold in August went up like rockets, but pretty much none of them are back to where they were went I bought them. (As I point out, I am a poster child for what not to do, but even if I have to learn my lessons the hard way, I do learn them.) Some of them are still bumping the bottom, too, some are worse than when I sold them. The rally is rather narrow, but I am not the first to point that out.

Earlie, Has anyone else noticed that Dell has not participated in this last market hiccup? I know it is too overpriced to go up, but so is the crap that is going up. MB: Because the box price is falling like a rock. I bought a box 2 months ago. I didn't buy a brand name, instead I bought one from a local store. It was 20-40% cheaper. But it still lost 15% of its value since then. Here in silicon valley, the customer can get $300-$500 discount on a $1300 machine in Thanksgiving sale. Jeff
