On the subject of DELL and near-term technical analysis: There is strong resistance at 66, which roughly matches the high set on 12/14 and the lows of 12/8. This will make more sense if you look at a 30-minute tick/bar streaming chart of DELL. A break above 66, followed by a break above the 100SMA on the 30minute chart should result in a move to the 68 1/2 - 69 area. DELL has performed "poorly" over the past few days as a result of a pending lawsuit (against DELL), increased attention given to CPQ, and a sluggish technical pattern over the past month - in addition to other reasons, I'm sure. The move from the 60 level to ~68 in the beginning of the month brought technical indicators to near-term overbought levels. Further, perhaps there are options-related pressures on the stock as well...someone can look into this and report to us tomorrow. Further upside gains in DELL will require a break above the 10-period SMA on a daily chart. After breaking above the 10SMA, this average will have to hold on the downside as support - and at the very least, the 20SMA will have to hold in order for DELL to move significantly higher. I am expecting a near-term upside target of 70-72, and will re-evaluate at that point. Andie W. Lin URL: nsx.net

Compaq doesn't have a P/E because it doesn't have earnings. And it won't have earnings next year either. TTFN, CTC

David, Hi!!! RE: Dell's PE.... Drew thinks it's 35 based on 99....my father has bombed me with his interpretation of the projected earnings with so much info I would have to get a secretary to keep track of all his math...Chuzzlewit and Jim can do math...I have trouble spelling it....sure, we've debated this forever it seems...frankly, I find Dell's PE not the defining reason why I buy Dell....I assume you are looking for that answer since you asked for the PE of CPQ also....I don't follow CPQ... I buy Dell on news from Dell....that is my trigger for purchase...I don't attempt to look for a real bargain or dip.... but, rather choose any entry immediately following news that makes me drool....I buy every time with a year minimum view....recently that is expanding ...and quite rapidly my view point of all shares is going this way....Mort talking about China makes my head spin and immediately has me thinking even longer term.... Bought Dell 25 times from November 97 to November 98.....never sold a share....don't intend to for a long time...I know I'll buy more....because not buying would be stupid...the info and knowledge I have gained on this thread has me convinced of a simple basic philosophy....if you don't buy more Dell...You're stupid....the future of this company is scary.... Hope this helps.... Best, kemble
