Wayne, As a new invester, if you would be happy 10-15% per year, then you will enjoy the 50% or more that you are likely to get. I think if you study the company more and maybe even read Direct from Dell, then you will develop enough confidence in Dell so that these swings in stock price don't phase you in the least. In fact you may start to look foward to these price swings as oportunities to accumulate more Dell. Best of luck to you. Steve

wayne, would like to comment on your posts, tho they were addressed to other people. when you first invest in any stock, a correction feels really awful. very frightening. feels like it will never end. after you have had a position in dell for a time, say 6 months or so, corrections really do not feel the same. For one thing, you have some profits to cushion the downturn. For another thing, you have been able to add to your position, and you basis only goes up a little. Please believe, all these corrections end. they always end with dell going up again. if you steel yourself to hang on for 6 months, you will not regret it. If you let yourself be panicked out, you will never learn the big secret of investing, which is time is your ally when you own a good company. don't let the ups and downs scare you out. regards

Wayne, what you term DELL's "unreal swings" is barely noticeable in my portfolio compared to my other holdings. I've been whipsawed much, much worse than what DELL has been doing in recent weeks. If you feel that these price movements are intolerable, then I might suggest investing in ultilities, since they will provide you with your 10% prerequisite with much more stability. LoD

These "swings" are not "unreal", just really boring. Ho-hum - must we wait for earnings? Ok...Ok, then I'll buy some more. There, 800 shares added. It's a bargain, IMO, and I get a little excited every time I add shares. Feels like I'm making money every time I buy. And I can wait a few weeks (earnings)for some more excitement. Maybe I'll buy some more Inuts...I could use a little jolt. Keeps it interesting, although I must admit, I've already had my share of excitement this year. I'll have to give up margin one of these days. Love to be able to buy twice as much, but OH! the changes in account equity can be dramatic! The thread has been so peaceful lately, I often come here just to relax. The thread really exudes confidence in Dell and Dell management. Great place to come when you need a little boost in your investing confidence. Thanks all.

Wayne: If you want 10-15% a year with little fluctuation check the "beta" of a stock before you buy it. Or buy a good mutual fund like Vanguard 500 Index or Janue Olympus or Mercury. But if you would like to just buy some DELL and forget it, and not look at the price fluctuation, you will get much much more than 10-15% a year. Because you will get much more return, eventually (and it wont take that long) you will be enough in the money that the down times in the stock will just be a buying opportunity or a "ho hum" time. It will happen: I was one of the most panicking people around when my DELL went down and not I have more faith in it, through having held it long term. Freeus
