Thomas Carpenter Quotations

Even if Dell does well and raises its forecast, will it matter? It seems like a lot of other companies are feeling the effects of a slowdown, ... Dell is clearly executing better than any other company out there.

You're unlikely to see Dell moving up 3 bucks in a day.

This is a step in the right direction since the product lineup was getting stale, ... This doesn't mean that Nokia has solved all its problems but it does have more competitive products coming out toward the end of the year.

It's nothing new for HP to cut prices and Dell can still make good money in desktops even though margins have come down,

In the bigger picture, the trade deficit will act as a substantial drag on growth. It will take some pressure off the Fed to raise rates.

The days of Dell going up 40 percent a year are gone. But given its size and relatively low risk for a tech company, we'd all be happy if it goes up 15 percent a year.
