Aloha Stock bull: I believe that if you check you will find that MSD and management almost certainly have been buying Dell all year, in the form of options. What would you like them to do, buy stock on the open market for 3-4X what they could pay exercising their options? Isn't that a little much to expect from them? Prop up stock price of those who were impecunious enough to pay $50/share during a clear parabolic blow-off? Sorry, I don't agree that is MSD's job. I would much rather have him focus on running/improving/growing/ Dell then on making sure no one loses money trading Dell's stock. His focus is, and should be, on the long term, both for the company and for it's stockholders. Short-term traders had several years to take advantage of Dell's stunning rise, now they can go elsewhere in search of a fast buck. Personally I'm content to hold my shares long-term and sleep well than to have to worry about every short-term event in the market place. Sorry for the rant, not aimed at you or anyone in particular. I would just like to see this thread return to the excellent source of information it has traditionally been, than to have to wade through hundreds of posts worrying about day-to-day, week-to-week or even month-to-month fluctuations. Be patient, think long-term, you will be rewarded. Aloha |
