As I see it, despite all the bears saying that DELL has lost it's momentum - growth status, and is dead money going forward, we could actually see some very strong support here, and probably a fairly rapid climb to the low to mid forties. Besides any actual news, my reasoning is as follows: DELL has now dropped approximately 30% fairly rapidly. As such, as long as it performs at least up to expectations going forward, it should be viewed as a bit of a value play, or a hedge against a Nasdaq melt down, seeing as it would probably sink less from here than those still flying high. At the same time, it still definitely qualifies as a growth stock (30% growth is enough for such a qualification in my book, anyway), and an Internet play. So, you've got a hybrid that ends up being a bit of a defensive/aggressive play. With many investors getting very worried about the nose-bleed valuations on the Nasdaq, but at the same time being petrified of being left behind on the technology train, DELL may be just the ticket.

Hi Rudedog, sounds like Dell has lost the formula. Won't be the first, nor the last time that a company has grown so fast, and to such a size, that management loses control of the business. Been there, seen that... Stock Bull PS: I have a stop loss order in for tomorrow morning. If the stock gaps down, I'm gone. I rarely use a stop loss. Really don't believe in there use very much. But, I think this is one time that it's wise to use one. If I'm wrong, so be it.
