I'm always a little wary when an analyst says that a stock has risen in price "for no apparent reason." These guys are paid to come up with a reason.<g> Of course, an analyst who is negative on a company will sometimes say that when its price goes in the opposite direction and his customers (institutions) are upset at having sold at lower prices. FWIW: He has a 3-1 rating on the stock, the same he had in his 12/1 report when the stock was at 43.

Les, Now isn't that special. I thought the direct model was so powerful that this stuff couldn't happen. <g> But I love the way that scammy old Dell blames its slowing growth on component suppliers. They have huge demand. Really, then raise prices and make up for the rising component prices. <VBG> And it is amazing how the Dell suckers fall for every tall tale and even the Merrill geek thinks this is a one quarter problem when it has been going on for more than a year now.
