Mo, I love that CNBC has started showing the MM previous picks on the show again. It's funny, the last 8-9 Anal-yst have not really done worth a crap from their previous picks. The guy today was break even with 3 picks from a couple of months ago. If they want want to look good they should just get on there and say DELL, MSFT, CSCO, INTC. But they would rather talk smart and try and shovel all that LOW PE crap and break even. I bet they are pissed that CNBC is showing the previous picks. You could tell the guy today was embarrased, just like I am about my spelling.

Hey Mohan. I did happen to read that article this morning. I can add that we lucked out in building our home (Austin.) Our builder said they could now get several thousand dollars more for the lot we built on (this is from last June.) Now, normally I take that kind of comment with a grain of salt BUT I've watched every other lot in the subdivision get gobbled up. This area is like a dandelion field, they are filling up subdivisions almost as quickly as they open. I'm not saying this is all DELL, but, there is NO DOUBT in this community about the impact/influence DELL is having in almost every facet.

T.R.

RE: Austin economy

This part of the article was the most interesting to me. Dell is headquartered in Round Rock. Note 44% increase.

<The areas with the most new home starts included Round Rock, which saw a 44 percent increase in home starts; Cedar Park/Leander, which saw a 13 percent increase; and Southwest Austin, which had a 30 percent jump in home starts.>
