When I saw the 5% rebate I wanted to see the fine print. Sure enough ...

SB:

I'm not normally vindictive, but expect that a tiny grin might sneak imperceptibly across my visage when the Dell monument is pulled down. When one considers what the company does , the price-to-book,(which has surpassed anything I've ever seen except the internet tulips) is obscene. Maybe this Q. If not, very probably next would be my guess. Dell is a great marketing company, but the appearance of the tiniest variance from perfection will see a full third snipped from the stock price in a nano-second. I like the risk/reward of these kind of situations.

Best, Earlie

Skeets, Dell always goes up. It doesn't matter that the folks who own it don't even know when the fiscal year ends or that receivables are not part of their stereo system. <G>

Here is another one on Dell:

"Since it was splitted twice in a row last year, it will split twice this year too."

These people really scare me.

Actually, I think the sudden up-run of Dell stock perhaps is short squeeze. Dell had second largest shorts (only after WCOM) in Nasdaq as of Jan. 15.
