[kind of off-topic] Oh Loren. In the old days, Dell was up 10 percent a day. Check out the chart. It has been slowing down. Oh Dennis... don't they teach lawyers ANY basic math/statistics? I just took 3 years of DELL price data, and ran a linear regression on the LOG of price (to linearize the data), and it shows ~250% annual growth at a 98% r^2 factor. An r^2 factor of 100% indicates a perfect regression. This means that for the last 3 years straight, DELL's price performance has been almost PERFECTLY exponential. (if you need it, I can send you an Excel spreadsheet showing the regression/graph). The math says that Dell has NOT been slowing down, unless you want to talk about a growth rate for a PARTICULAR week or month. SURELY, you wouldn't be complaining about anything that short term, especially given the tax effects many stocks experience at the end of the year. There are sellers. Oh Dennis, come on now. Where there is a buyers there are always sellers. Even when a stock is skyrocketing UPWARDS, there are sellers!! LOL Dennis... the point is, you complained that DELL is 'dead, dead, dead', and anybody that cares to look at DATA can see that it is not. You made an illogical, ill-formed argument. Unless you want to be logical and databased, I suggest we stop this discussion. Loren
