BP, one reads a tea-leaf or tea-leaves. Dell has something like $18B in direct or indirect stock holdings right now. That definitely isn't chump change, but he has definitely picked up his rate of selling Dell stock. Its probably less obvious as a percentage of his net worth, but it is definitely impressive when looked at in dollar amounts. (Feb 19 was a planned sale, and he may have done something else since- I don't know; I mostly wanted to check it out myself but thought I'd post what I found. I don't have any position in Dell, but hope it goes down.)
