From today's wires: Dow Jones Newswires -- April 9, 1998 Dell's Tone Remains Bullish; Co. Says Growth To Continue By Christopher Grimes NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Dell Computer Corp. (DELL) set a bullish tone with Wall Street analysts Thursday, even as many other technology companies have issued nothing but warnings so far in 1998. Michael Dell, chief executive and founder of the Round Rock, Texas, company, said he was confident his company could continue to grow faster than the rest of the personal computer market in 1998. Dell's growth rate has averaged about 55% a year. He said several factors should spur personal computer sales this year, including the introduction of Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT) Windows 98, faster models of Intel Corp.'s (INTC) Pentium II chips and "rich" e-mail applications that allow electronic transfer of voice and pictures. "We believe growth in the industry will again exceed 15% between now and 2000," Dell said. He added that whatever the growth rate is this year, his company will outpace it. But he did say there were areas that the fast-growing company needed to improve. For one, the company's brand image needs some work. "Dell has suffered brand discounting, and our goal is to eliminate that," he said. "Our awareness can be extended to a wire market." Dell, the company's CEO, said there's usually a lot of nervousness during the first half of the year about the state of the PC industry. But the tone of Dell's analyst meeting Thursday was decidedly confident. "We can't remember a time in our history when what we're selling is so diametrically different from the products that are already out there," Dell said. "There is a massive upgrade market, and that favors Dell," he said. Dell also said the company would begin to sell some of its OptiPlex desktop computers using the low-end Celeron chip, which Intel is expected to introduce next week. In some ways, this is a departure for Dell, which has always said it had no interest in the low end of the PC market. In addition, early reviews of the Celeron chip have characterized it as disappointingly slow. Dell said concern about how the market will react to the chip is "legitimate." "Our focus is on the high-performance end of the market, and Intel has made a fundamental shift in its strategy" to address the sub-$1,000 PC market, he said. "There may be some questions (about the new chip's performance), and we have some of those concerns." Dell, the company's CEO, said his company is unlikely to follow the lead of Compaq Computer Corp. (CPQ) and International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) of using Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s (AMD) K6 chip. The K6 is an alternative to Intel's Pentium II chips. "If we felt some other product would give us a higher profit, we would use it," he said. "Intel comes out ahead." He also took a swipe at his competitors' attempts to emulate Dell's method of selling computers directly to customers. Compaq and others are using a hybrid approach of selling computers through partners and selling directly. "Five years ago, Dell was a direct and indirect company at the same time," he said, "and that didn't work. We'll see if it works for our competition." Dell is committed to expanding its base of vendors who provide services, a company spokesman said. He noted that this will continue as Compaq has agreed to acquire Digital Equipment Corp. (DEC), a service provider for Dell equipment. However, Dell customers will still have the choice of using Digital Equipment, he added. -Christopher Grimes; 201-938-5253

Hey Techies, Check out the oil service sector ($OSX),NYMEX FGII and GLM are great companies @52 weeks lows. quicken.com DRILLING FOR OIL The Oil Service Sector ($OSX) has been grossly over sold: cbs.marketwatch.com Many of the drillers and fabricators are selling at P/Es significantly below projected (+20%/3-5 year) growth rates. At 12 1/2 GLM has a P/E of 7.58/FY98 and 6.28/FY99. Another, FGII @ 14 « has a P/E of 9.9/FY98 and 6.47/FY99. With crude selling a 10 year low, companies in this sector have potential for exceeding previous 52 week highs and doubling are tripling present price levels, when, not if, crude prices return to historic median price levels (above $15 in 1996 dollars). Worldwide consumption of crude is projected by the Dept of Energy to grow @2.1% (real) per annum from now until 2020. New discoveries cannot keep up with the increased demand. Opportunities to buy great companies at distressed prices rarely occur, especially when the basic commodity is over the long term guaranteed to be in short supply. Crude prices will recover -THEY ALWAYS HAVE-. When they do the OIL SERVICE SECTOR WILL EXPLODE!! I, nor; does anyone else know if the sector has bottomed. But, the fundamentals are outstanding and at this level, downside risks are far outweighed by potential rewards. LOOK AT THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE OIL SERVICE SECTOR AND COMPARE FUTURE POTENTIAL WITH YOUR CURRENT HOLDINGS....... SargeK
