Can anyone direct me to any recent post for a good explanation for the tremendous insider selling at DELL over the past several months? Michael Dell has sold approx. $500 mil. in stock in addition to other insiders. That's a @#+*&%$ boatload of shares these guys have unloaded. Love the company and their business model but the insider selling raises my concern that these guys are seeing something coming that I might be missing? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Scott

Hi Chuzz,..Re:.Dell's successful use of the internet to market its products is probably one of the greatest internet marketing successes around, The Industry Week article posted by Kemble last night clearly described Dell's particular brand of success. industryweek.com Michael Dell's Magic He listens -- and gives customers what they want, efficiently. Some interesting points, Manufacturing and distribution aren't the only areas that Michael Dell has attacked. He and his company are feverishly defining the rules of electronic commerce and creating new paradigms for using the Internet to change global competition by more closely integrating the activities of suppliers, manufacturers, and customers. The companies that position themselves to build information partnerships" with suppliers and customers and make the Internet an integral part of their strategy -- not just an "add-on" -- have the potential to "fundamentally change the face of global competition." Maybe some of the internet companies are copying Dell? <g> Regards, Lee PS - Thanks Kemble for the article
