<< Craig, it seems that you are the only one upset >> How so? I'm not the one calling guests on CNBC names. << I didn't say Cramer's favorable opinion of Dell was "stupid" or that any of his other picks are "stupid" or even that he is "stupid". What I said was 1) he frequently asks stupid questions of the CEOs and other guests interviewed on Squawk Box >> Semantics, semantics. Not only that I wasn't just referring to you either. I'm talking about things that have been said about Cramer for the past several months on this thread. Other people have essentially branded Cramer stupid. << 2) his accusation of manipulation on instinet the day of Dell's report was total BS. >> Maybe, but that's what he believed. He expressed his opinion on the matter, and he also said that DELL was subject to some profit taking. He didn't blame all of DELL's drop on shorts. He just likes to bring up that subject of instinet any time he gets, and I 'm glad that he has. I didn't know you could short Nasdaq stocks on a downtick on instinet until he talked about it a while ago. << As for the lovefest, three reporters and a money manager competing to see who can heap the most praise on Michael Dell rather than digging for meaningful company or industry information or insights is, IMO, a lovefest >> How stupid would they look if they unfairly attacked Mr. Dell just to look like they were keeping themselves honest? DELL deserves all the praise they get. << Squawk Box is supposed to be a news program. >> It is? No news is totally objective anyway. << If you think the future is as bright as the past for Dell, perhaps you should consider Warren Buffet's view that when you plan to buy more of a stock you like, you should be pleased by lower prices in the near term. >> I do! I just blew out MSFT and covered half of my ZITL daytrade so I got some cash to work with. DELL is looking awfully tempting...
