Mohan Its the latter. I freely admit. I brought this up because someone was saying that the stock is unlikely to fall because mike dell is selling his stock options. If the stock were to fall, mike dell would lose his credibility with the investment community(etc. etc.). Some kind of reverse psychology! I was just pointing out that CEOs don't always have such lofty motives when they are selling stock. That often times the stock DOES fall after the insiders have sold(as in ORCL recently) and many other companies in the past. I don't see shy Michael Dell would be immmune from profit taking. Also, Dell's future aint all that rosy. Just take a look at other companies in the industry(HWP, CPQ etc.). People who think that Dell is a class of its own, in a different industry from CPQ are deluding themselves.
