Robbie -

It was Zelasky who brought up INSP, not you.

The fact is that no other "box maker" has grown at the pace Dell has. No box maker is currently growing at the pace Dell is growing.

The stock price may disappoint in the short term, but I am not worried about my investment in Dell. And of course, the stock price will only be disappointing if you are expecting meteoric jumps.

It's actually healthier, in the long run, for a stock to appreciate slowly and steadily. The Internet high-flyers of today will crash at some point. For those who time their buys and sells correctly, there is profit to be made with them, but I'll still be willing to compare my investing record against theirs five or ten years from now. If they've made more money than I, I'll congratulate them. If they have made less, or lost money, you can be sure I won't call them idiots. That would be rude.
