I can't speak to short term investors or day traders...just not my thing. We long termers, during down periods, have to remember why we INVESTED in a particular company. And yes we get nervous when our stock prices go down and we give ear to the dire rantings and warnings of panic sellers. And we develop memory loss. About this time last year Dell tanked $16 one day if memory serves. But we, and the companies we invest, have no control over acts of God disasters or after dinner speeches by Fed chairmen. These are temporary events and are not a reflection on company business models or their management. If Dell was a good company to be invested in yesterday or today then it will be a good company tomorrow.

If these type daily and weekly fluctuations make one crazy then perhaps best not to follow SI or CNBC. Can cause one to take ill advised action. It is true that the individual investor can't time the market. Just can't. We lose our cash when we try. So, relax. Dell will be just fine. If and when the business model fails and Dell no longer can meet long term growth and profit expectations then it will be time to move on. But not tomorrow.
