You know Michael, I challenged you to be specific, but apparently specificity in your mind means hand waving. Here are specific examples of that:

1. we argued about seasonality. You finally conceded that I was right, and went right back to your old song and dance that Dell lost market share.

2. We argued about revenue growth and you conceded that you had no data to support your contention, and then went back to your same song and dance about have revenues were contracting in the PC business.

3.We argued about the inventory dump, and instead of acknowledging the fact that all of the data were inconsistent with your contentions, and despite the fact that you acknowledged that you have nothing to substantiate your claims, you go ahead and make some additional rabid claims including a thinly veiled accusation that the books are being manipulated.

So here is the challenge: exactly what have you been right about? Be specific. And be man enough to admit that you are wrong when confronted with evidence. Your intuition does not constitute evidence.
