Depends on what your investing objectives are.

1) If you are overweighted in DELL and want to diversify, sell you recent shares (for a loss) and some of your older shares (at a steep gain) so that you net $0 gain and have no tax liability. You then have the opportunity to invest that money elsewhere with no tax owed on the sales.

2) Stay put with you DELL shares. This will be a nerve racker over the short term.

Remember, though, this is the worst time for tech stocks in the cycle. We are at the end of the earnings warning season and people are starting to get very nervous. We have not had any material good news for some time, and the Street is basically taking the market wherever it wants with its random downgrade/upgrade announcement decisions.

I do believe DELL will be fine long term.

This all boils down to your investment goals.
