Chuzz- Thanks for your thoughts for the quarter...You mentioned that you thought that Dell would come in a bit shy of .33...(obviously, we are still at the early guessing here) I would add (as you know), the stock is splitting, so you are guess-estimated 16.4/16.45 cents per share (post-split)..I can assure you that if Dell is that close (to be able to claim 16.5 cents, and thus .17 cents) they will somehow do it... I think, the perception is anyway, that .17 will be much better than .16 (meeting estimates)...Rounding, of course, gets 16.5 up to 17... (I remember what was often said when I worked at a major pharma company, "He (The CEO) always makes the number"... I totally agree with your views of Cramer..He has a (typical) short-term, frenetic trader mentality....the chip on his shoulder grows enormously large when ever one of his positions tanks for any period of time....However, he is so hyper that it is hard to notice his true emotional (depressed) state in such times... Listening to him, and combining a longer-term view of investing, can be dangerous indeed...I find him entertaining, however... Bill Gross of PIMCO coming up on TV right now...Usually worth listening to...
