>> Like I said, split saved our ass. I think the bottom will be about $78. It will start back up after a shake out tomorrow.<< Your predictions for the last few days have been wrong and it was not your fault as none of us had the information as Niles did. I do think that the selling however is over done and even if the stock split was to appease the pissed off shareholders, Michael is going to have us all over his back to do whatever needed to make Dell more competitive. Look Hewlett Packard missed its quarterly earnings for so many quarters but beat it this time around. The earnings for Dell was terrific but the G--D--- bar was raised to high I think I will keep my shares for the long haul>> What is your view?? Frank
