Party is over on DELL ? Not really, but those Dellheads who have been spoiled in the past with 100% gains every year are now realizing that stocks (and yes, DELL too) actually go up and down (as opposed to only up). DELL is a great stock, lots of upside and many more splits to come, only now, we have lovely dips to capitalize on! When investor sentiment is weak, and people are selling, Ill be buying. If DELL drops to $60, great! If DELL drops to $50, even better! SJ

"The Naz was up big time, and Dell was left gasping for air. It's now a great short". Over any few week period, sure, Dell could go down.....but, in March and early April, the Naz rose considerably...and Dell did nothing... Later in April, with the Naz peaking and falling...Dell rose (significantly)... So, past history does not bear you out on this one......and I wouldn't hedge my bets on Dell remaining down too long....by (latest) sometime in January, we'll see money start returning to Dell... Over 200% a year has spoiled you (and some others) hasn't it? My investment goals are a bit more modest...

Dell is terrible short. Do you think Dell's management is going to sit still. I am predictiing that they will get more into internet sales --NOT JUST PCs. As they watch the Amazon.com 's, they must be planning something big for the net. If such an announcement is made -- lookout if you are a short. That is why I am waiting for sellers like you to get out of the stock so it could start moving. I wouldn't be suprised to see it double within a year. I know -- what about the PE. Look at the internet stocks (S/E - sales to earnings). I think Dell may be able to support a very high P/E. Dell does not want to lose out to internet stock as the stock of the decade title. I am sure they have big plans. Shorting is too big of a gamble. It is just better to stay long or stay out (as I am for now).

No, Dell is not a short. It just temporarily stuck here for a while. It will move again. gc, PhD

I sold my 60,000 shares today--shares that I have held since mid 1995. Before the ink dries on you check to the IRS in April, Dell will double. 3d

<<The Naz was up big time, and Dell was left gasping for air. It's now a great short.>> Funny how perspectives can be different. I've been out of Dell since it was 73 with the exception of a tiny call bet the day before earnings, but I've been impressed at the way it's held above the 50 dma. Also, you might be interested in the following commentary from Street.com (Wednesday before Thanksgiving). I'm thinking about getting back into Dell myself. Respite from the Frenzy As for the broader market, Belski described the past two days as a "respite from the buying frenzy" evident Monday, rather than a sign of a top. "We had a similar consolidation at the beginning of the month and people thought we were topping out, then wham!" He said, "We had a nice respite yesterday and today was a throwaway day. Things will begin to cook again [next week] and then you'll be being hearing about a Santa Claus rally." The researcher is most impressed by the fact "pullbacks we've seen in big-cap leaders have been on light volume," he said, citing Intel (INTC:Nasdaq) and Dell (DELL:Nasdaq) as examples. "We're not seeing signs of distribution or profit-taking. It's more a lack of buying."
