My experience tells me that one of the most important thing to consider in buying tech stocks is the management of the company. Michael Dell is one of the best out there, on the same level as Bill Gates. That is why my largest holdings are MSFT and DELL, and I will never sell unless there are management changes. The patient long term investors will be rewarded.

Hey guys, chill. Think this.................... "Where will Dell be at this time next year?....Where will Dell be 2 years from now?......" Now those are pleasant thoughts. The market and the investors within it suffer from an acute case of "hurry-up and make me money quick, and when I mean quick, I mean now" disease. A quick review of the market's historical return...11%. Dell's doubled since Oct. JH

mark..ot ot ot she's tough...likes to throw things.... pal bought some dell may 37.5's....i know you are lurking...keep on telling him to sell, need to get him to keep his promise with all the cmgi "putting" he's doing... don't use real time on options for the most part, until i'm ready to place an order...i look at a delay and factor in the real time stock price...based on this unsophisticated method, when i call the broker, and start checking the spreads on the exchange, amex recently has been better to sell on.., i am either surprised or disappointed...the lag gives me a bit of discipline...i'm satisfied with my decided on entry point, anything better a plus.....i look at net amounts, care less about percentages, factor in mental anguish, risk/reward then pull the trigger, try to stay away from limits, prefer to adjust with the broker as the bid/ask changes......like to lock down big numbers on leaps....and hope to be half right....increases the odds to make money...it's a pedestrian approach to trading...too many things happening on a screen at once have been known to cause violent behavior in japanese adolescents...imagine what it does to an italian from the ghetto!
