Tommaso,..Re:. I suppose, as you say, Michael Dell's sales are a way to convert company wealth into personal wealth through a tax-advantaged salary, The MSD sales were also used to start a venture capital firm to invest in some ideas he saw as promising. Can't find the story now as that was back in March I think.

Thread, To humor Tommasso, let's all sell about 6% of our DELL holdings, then. However, we need to adjust that by the options subsequently granted to Michael Dell. Which may mean that we have to sell less than 5%. Maybe we can sell now and buy back in future, paying taxes and commissions and risking market timing. Alternatively, we can focus on DELL's business and if that is satisfactory, simply hold. -BGR.

As I understand it, Micheal is taking about 2% of his wealth and investing it in some interesting small companies that may profit greatly from the internet revolution. I, and many others on this thread, are doing likewise. Please PM me if you have any good suggestions for alternate investments, other than gold and surplus meals ready to eat (I already have an "investment" in a company that sells the latter, which I hope to recoup when the Y2K panic hits full stride). The last time they did well was after the big California earthquake. Ken
