On DELL's income statement, there is an item labled investment income/loss.
I do not know the details about this.
I have to confess I did jump to conclusions and assumed that they were up to their old tricks. There are many companies that trade derivitaves on their own stock. the trick is how the trades are carried on the books. INTC has been known to write puts on their stock. the difference is that when INTC writes one 100 put, they carry it as a $10,000 liability until it expeires.

I will look further into DELL and see if I can find anything.
This is not the reason the stock it going down. This is the kind of thing that could destroy the Co in a terrible environment.
