Abraves: Good fortune continue to smile on you. Two questions: What will provide you with an appropriate warning that it is time to exit? What if they don't answer the phones, as occurred in 1987? Best, Earlie

Abraves, But where was Dell priced then and where is it priced now. Nobody says they are going bankrupt, but at over 100 times eps, they have to show spectacular growth. As far as owning overpriced stocks goes, you have obviously never seen a bear market. All of your former returns go away when they occur. And, guaranteed, you cannot sell after everyone knows about it because that is when the overpriced fluff is selling at 8 times non-existent eps. <G> There are scores of safer, smarter ways to beat MM performance. I know. I used to do it all the time when I was a MM. <G> MB
