Larry, let me give you an example and tell me what your opinion is. Let's say hypothetically, you've invested in Dell over the years and have amassed several million dollars. Let's also assume that wisely, you've realized your good fortune and cut your position in half putting a few million in in government bonds so you'll never have to flip burgers again. This leaves you with a few million exposed in the market. Should you: a.) Risk your wad spreading it out over many small growth companies hoping one germinates. b.) Chase IPO's or hot internet stocks in search of eye popping gains (or losses) c.) Move your money into other companies similar to Dell like Cisco or Microsoft. e.) Keep your money in Dell who has a proven track record, much market share to be gained and an unmatched management team with the longest running CEO in the business at the helm. I'd say option (e) is the wisest choice. What do you think? Some folks must chase high risk stocks in search of 200% plus gains because they have not yet achieved critical mass. But, for those who have, Dell is the strongest play in the entire universe of stocks for consistent, predictable growth over the next several years. Why risk your money on anyone else? Let's be clear, Dell's growth will slow... it has to. However, they will deliver outstanding results quarter after quarter with superior return on invested capital. Don't sell a winner in search of another as you'll likely wind up with a mess of losers. MEATHEAD
