John:<dell as a mutual fund> I know this sounds silly to many, but dell diversifies me. That is why I do 100 % Dell. Plus it has a clean set of books. Plus it has Chuzz pointing out the few weaknesses. And with this thread, what more do you need. Mo is on Chicken soup right now, but as soon as hiw wife lets him....watch out. I am 60, and feel dell is a proxy for many things I really care about. This is very important to me personally. I do not like his personal venture capital efforts, but will look for ways to participate in these also. I have worked for some very clean companies, and Dell makes me feel the same. Who in the world knows how to understand the inuts. I still spend 80% of my time running an inner city housing project, mostly for the disadvantaged. The world does not depend entirely on whether amzn can outperform wmart and sears together selling washing machines. If you spend enough time with people with real problems in life, you can see these things. Somehow for me, a certain elitist mentality keeps inuts going, but I really have no idea. Buy Dell, and do something else. Or buy it highly leveraged, and come join me in the inner city. I could use some help. **OT** very very I am currently a two flat with third level furniture shop, into rooms--there is such a demand for san francisco housing. Our plan is to have sort of a commune, to restore very old pianos. One of the tenants (17 years) restores antiques. A newer russian lady plays incredible classic piano, and at 60, is willing to spark our team. She is also one incredible cook; you wouldn't believe it. Her only family is in London, for now... I want to call the place, house of music (but in russian). We have many Russian persons here. This is what keeps me balanced, and physically and mentally healthy. Thank you for reading this, and wishing us well.
