Hi David, Not sure why that particular group of analysts did not rank EMC as being in the highest group for split potential. I agree that EMC is a great stock and certainly fits MY profile for beating the S&P 500. The screen I quoted from was from the S&P PERSONAL WEALTH site. Bev

David, there was a list on SI recently that showed the top 10 YTD S&P stocks ... I remember both DELL and MSFT were on the list, but can't remember what other stocks were included. Have you seen this list ? What list are you referring to and do you have a link ? I would be interested in seeing the list you're referring to ... don't want to miss any of the good ones we need to be following. Bev

David, did you see the review of EMC taken from ONLINE INVESTOR and reprinted in THESTREET.com by Laure Edwards? EMC Online Investor (Dec. 9) Enterprise storage technology firm EMC (EMC:NYSE), though not as well known as Microsoft (MSFT:Nasdaq) and Dell (DELL:Nasdaq) shows strong earnings in a promising industry and is a good buy, says Online Investor. EMC has shown a more than 50% annual growth rate in sales and earnings over the last five years. Sales grew to nearly $4 billion this year, from only $127 million 10 years ago. A lot of this is due to EMC's Symmetrix storage system, which allows companies to centralize storage for various computing systems, including mainframes, Unix and Windows NT systems. Competition is formidable, however. Sun Microsystems (SUNW:Nasdaq), IBM (IBM:NYSE), Dell and Compaq (CPQ:NYSE) all are aiming at the enterprise storage market. But "EMC's technological lead is substantial and unlikely to be encroached near term," says Online Investor. . Analysts predict earnings growth of 42% this year and a long-term rate of 28%. The target price is 87, though it has reached 80 3/16 recently, upon good recommendations from analysts.
