Rojo, Hi!!! RE: Then, in 1996, I stumbled into this thread..and my life changed. I decided to "take a chance" with Dell - buying a few thousand shares and selling quickly on any small pop ups. Did ok (I thought)except that I always seemed to buy it back a few days or weeks later at a higher price! Yes!!! This was one of the very first lessons I received from some of the folks on this thread...the soul bearing confessions of those that found selling Dell to be hazardous to their health...so many of us learned this lesson and decided to let Dell do the worrying...BTW those shares that I sold for the quick 10K that I used to pay off the credit card debit and buy my wife a 25th anniversary ring...well, right now that ring is "worth" 2.8... :o) But, the greatest lesson I learned was in keeping some of those shares and reading this thread...through this thread I learned to accumulate and not sell Dell for any reason...Currently, I don't even consider selling Dell for five years or more... Best, Kemble

Great post Rojo. Kemble might print it out for his history book. There is a common thread running thru it of progress thru the years toward the 100% Dell portfolio(g) Diversified, as Arthur said, by buying Dell at various times of the day. I was similarly, and continually re-directed to Dell by the lack of performance of other stocks. And it is still happening. csco, intc, rmbs are not keeping up with the mighty Dell. I call any of these or others my 'play' stocks. Or sometimes, (forgive me) junk stocks. However, perhaps due to comments on SI, I have done far better with those than I did in 1997 and it adds some spice and challenges. Dell down one? The sky is falling(g).Now 15/16th, ah thats better.
