It's probably the bigger they are, the harder they fall.
I think alot of people were sorely disappointed in Dell. It'll take
some number of quarters to get that back again. But, I am hopeful the recovery will start with this quarter's earnings report. I did feel it necessary to reduce my margin and diversify before but I still have a strong long position in Dell.
BTW guys, my brand new Dell 550 w/256meg, wizbang super screamer will be arriving shortly.
