This from Dell web site concerning their available pc's "Due to the high turnover of our available products, the exact system listed below may no longer be available at the time of your call, but our sales team will be happy to help find a system that meets your needs. " Does this sound like a company who's future is in trouble like those idiot analysts are portraying!!! One of the analysts stated his reason for getting soft on Dell was due to them not participating in the low cost (under $500) pc's. Well! why would they want to sell them when they cannot keep the over $1500 on the shelf!!! Late day rally will see Dell over $45. There will be no reason to hold it down any longer. TTOSBT

steven...you are very observant for a "poor farmer" but that is the point that i am trying to make...i'm an "ignorant" business man, no mba, phd, economics background, whatever...but it is basic common sense, "profit" and "profit" alone is what drives and maintains the growth in a company...strong revenue stream is a mandate for low margin companies, for it needs same to exist...and in such a case growth comes from borrowing..so we get into a vicious cycle...a well capitalized company rife with profits can withstand the economic down turns, a revenue stream company collapses under the weight of high interest rates... for the edification of the thread, i will repost the following, what is a bit more timely today: OBJECTIVE: to achieve sufficient profit to finance our company growth and to provide the resources we need to achieve our other corporate objectives" OBJECTIVE: to let our growth be limited by our profits and our ability to develop and produce technical products that satisfy real customer needs" david packard, william hewlett, hp business objectives 1957 i guess they are "dummies" in the scheme of things as they are in today's educated world of business....imagine starting a company without the aid of a hyped high flying ipo...!!!! so ya finished your chores for the day???<g>...good luck, ed a.
