Interesting use of the word "volatility" in JK's response. I have noticed that, among stock pumpers, words that describe declines in stock value have been banished in favor of the word "volatility," which implies very strongly that the decline is merely a temporary hiccup. A little volatility sure sounds better than "lost billions of market cap." What is amusing is that touty management is doing everything it can to create real price volatility - upwards, which of course no one ever seems concerned by. However, Dell's last bout of "volatility" in the euphemistic sense knocked 30% off the stock price. /Kit
