Dell stock has pretty much performed terribly over the past 2 years. $26 two years ago and $19 today. they did grow to $30 in that time, but they've come crashing down. AAPL had a bit of a fall, but they've nearly regained it all. AAPL was in the $70s two years ago and is over $180 today. very impressive. <br><br>MSFT, for all of their market share is still less than twice as large as AAPL. that's an amazing accomplishment for Apple.<br><br><br>--<br>[color:red] Kansas Jayhawks -- 2008 National Champions </font color=red>

I was totally amazed that Microsoft was less than twice as large. No kidding impressive for Apple.<br><br>Dell is in trouble because they've built their business around increasing market share by dumping cheap machines on the market. There's little margin and in some cases they've been loss leaders. You can't maintain, never mind grow a business that way.<br><br>
i think YHOO will open way down around $23/share. MSFT might even be up a little after flirting with YHOO.<br><br>7 minutes.<br><br><br>--<br>[color:red] Kansas Jayhawks -- 2008 National Champions </font color=red>
YHOO ended up opening at $23.02 and MSFT was up about 20 cents to open.<br><br>GOOGLE was the big winner and it opened about $15 up per share.<br><br><br>--<br>[color:red] Kansas Jayhawks -- 2008 National Champions </font color=red>
