that he can't legally sell much faster abyway. Tom, why would that be the case? MD gets stock option grants regularly that have selling restrictions, but the vast, vast majority of his stock is founders stock. What restrictions on this could possibly still exist? Gary

First of all, 13 million is wrong. Tom, please tell me why instead of just stating something with no back up, or else call it your opinion. . Secondly, 10% and 15% are both significant figures. Well I guess this is a matter of perspective. If I sold 15% of my holding, you wouldn't think its thats much. If he sold 50%, I might become concerned. He is dumping as fast as possible. Do you enjoy being the proverbial greater fool? Am I a fool because I question some questionable bear food thrown into a feeding frenzy? Or is it something else? Please enlighten me. Gary

Tom: I spent a little time to copy all the number of shares M. Dell has sold bet. Feb. 1998 to Jan. 1999 from Yahoo Insider. For further reference see the following link. Here it is: 7-Jan-99 Planned Sale 648000 24-Feb-98 Planned Sale 20,000 25-Nov-98 Sold 650,000 24-Nov-98 Sold 1,750,000 23-Nov-98 Sold 1,600,000 23-Nov-98 Planned Sale 4,000,000 20-Nov-98 Disposed 791,300 19-Nov-98 Sold 1,150,000 18-Nov-98 Disposed 184,375 18-Nov-98 Planned Sale 4,000,000 15-Nov-98 Sold 2,850,000 25-Sep-98 Gave as Gift 15,625 24-Sep-98 Sold 4,050,000 24-Sep-98 Planned Sale 4,000,000 21-Aug-98 Sold 2,100,000 23-Jun-98 Disposed 180,000 28-May-98 Sold 100,000 27-May-98 Sold 300,000 26-May-98 Sold 50,000 26-May-98 Sold 810,000 26-May-98 Planned Sale 1,200,000 24-Feb-98 Sold 30,000 24-Feb-98 Sold 10,000 23-Feb-98 Sold 50,000 23-Feb-98 Sold 395,000 23-Feb-98 Planned Sale 400,000 13-Feb-98 Sold 20,000 Total # of shares sold: 31,354,300 Roughly about 14.9% of M. Dell's total holding of common shares, including direct and indirect. Too bad he cannot sell more by regulation. Remaining Common shares for M. Dell: 184,014,179 Remaining Indirect Common share for M. Dell: 26,253,916 biz.yahoo.com biz.yahoo.com I am already amazed by the lack of elementary-level math training of some Dell heads, so I won't say any more here. But in case some dell heads still got the problem with this 31.3543 million shares M. Dell already sold, then my suggestion is to go back to school and get a real high-school diploma equivelent certificate.
