reputting all your eggs in one basket I agree so much with your post. I "play" with the stock market and try to jump on bandwagons and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt but DELL is a steady upward winner. Freeus

<--OT--> Dalin: Big Blue going iNUT? Well what is good for the goose is good for the gander you know,next stop DELL. biz.yahoo.com IBM unveils Internet Music delivery system NEW YORK, Feb 8 (Reuters) - International Business Machines Corp., (NYSE:IBM - news) in an alliance with five large music companies, on Monday unveiled a system to allow home computer users to download music and make secure royalty payments to record companies via the World Wide Web. The music companies in the deal, -- Seagram CO Ltd's (Toronto:VO.TO - news) Universal Music, EMI Group Plc's (quote from Yahoo! UK & Ireland: EMI.L) EMI, Bertelsmann AG's (quote from Yahoo! UK & Ireland: BTGGg.F) BMG, Sony Corp's Sony Music Entertainment, and Time Warner Inc.'s (NYSE:TWX - news) Warner Music -- will make a large selection of music available when the pilot product is unveiled later this year, an IBM spokeswoman said. Initially the trial will be limited to users with broadband cable modem delivery. Users will be able to download a complete CD-quality album to a computer hard drive, then transfer the music to their own compact discs, an IBM spokeswoman said. The system is an attempt to combat popular products that copy music over the Internet, but often bypass making royalty payments. The system, formerly code-named ''Madison,'' is the recording industry's first non-litigious response to its competitors, primarily Diamond Multimedia Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:DIMD - news). In October, the Recording Industry Association of America sued Diamond alleging its product, called the Rio PMP300, violates the 1992 Audio Home Recording Act because it allows music to be replayed without paying artist royalties.

I now have a core holding of stocks like DELL, LU, CSCO, etc. and a trading position (things I'm in an out of in hours to days). It allows me to experience the fun of the volatility while sleeping nights. Perhaps I'll be AEDB (all eggs in DELL basket) by end of year. I'm trying to decide what (if anything) to do during the second half of the year. I fear the doom-and-gloomers will be all over the news talking about how the world and, more importantly, the market will come to a crashing halt by Y2K bugs (CNBC would love it). Of course, we all know this is silly - but herd mentality can still create havoc in the markets. So I'm thinking, by the end of the year, of moving most of my $$ into the core holdings (DELL, etc.) and perhaps raising some cash. Anyone have similar or alternate thoughts? -ac
