Lucretius- You have been appearing since April 1998 on the Dell bull thread (perhaps earlier) with your warnings...Even with the huge sell-off and lousy performance in recent months, the stock is STILL up over 100% from when you first started spouting off... In my book, that makes you usefulness pretty useless.... Had you FIRST shown up in January 1999, yes, I would give you due credit, and say that you properly call it...but you did not...given the facts... Why should we listen to a broken clock?

LT, I am not a dell fan but bought in today. I got in a tad over 34 and wrote Jan 2000 $40 call for $5. I doubt if it will go down more than 50% off its 55 high. And it could easily hit over $40. I do think that the soho PC market is at an inflexion point and will go to a subscription model. What a lot of folks forget is that most folks when they are looking at say $30/mo for and e-machines PC/internet bundle with a 2 year committ compared to a $45 bundle from say Dell- with a 3 year committ will likely choose the Dell solution in droves. An example is buying a car. When you look at buying it with cold hard cash one's reaction is to price the thing to death. When it comes to financing it - folks look at adding a whole bunch more options and possibly an upgraded vehicle - as the cost adders are spread over a long period of time. And because Dell/GTW do not have the distribution/reseller overhead I expect them both to be able to offer such a solution very cost effectively whereas the CPQ/HP/IBM guys will have a real problem with such a model.
