Q: Hi Peter et al:
I had some EMC shares, and when dell tyook them over I received 7 Dell shares. I want to increase this to an even 100- 300 depending on your advice. I researched Dell a little and read a comparison with Apple. Ranks 3rd in the pc market behind HP and Lenovo. Has 45 bil debt, but might spin off Vmware ( 81% x 60 bil=50 bil for Dell. Investors would then get the rest of the company for nothing.Currfent debt/Equity 110%. Apple 6%. Apple cash 190 bil. At current valuations Dell looks more attractive. Apple p/s 7.5x Dell .6x. It has a peg ratio under 1. Apple 2.4. Please advise. Maybe I should just sell the 7 shares and forget it. I don't like small odd numbers. Thank you, as always.
BEN.
