The other side of that commentary was that the stock is going to make a run to $70. It is a well known fact Greenberg tries to help his sources out on this show. If Dell were a good short at this point the stock would have dropped more than a quarter point on Friday. Sorry but the bottom is here. After 150 million shares traded in the last two days and the market tanking all they could get on the downside is less than three points. I'm looking at 100's of other stocks that are much better short candidates and this one is not even in the top 200. Market makers were lined up all day on the bid so someone wants this stock or is doing a lot of covering. Funds will switch over to old tech that is reasonbly valued this week and we'll get a nice pop in the markets after fed does their 25 basis point hike.

Elwood, here's a tidbit on Compaq from the Option Investor newsletter: At an analyst meeting Friday morning Compaq blessed the future growth estimates of +15% to +17%. Later in the day, an analyst expressed concern about Compaq being able to grow at more than +10% to +11%. The company, when confronted with the concerns, agreed that the 10% to 11% numbers were actually closer to reality. That is a pretty good trick, lose 6% of your growth estimates, a billion dollars or so, in only a couple hours!
