Lane,
Hi!!! You are asking advice from not one of the smartest guys in the gym....but, if you are worried about a few points...just Buy Dell and play Rip Van Winkle....Michael has told us what is going to happen...goodness...just follow him...he is smart.
Best, Kemble

Hey Lane, re: buying in or buying more, on the open or later?
My observation has been that typically there's a lot of pressure on a stock at the open that usually settles down after noon and early afternoon; then often more pressure just before closing.
I'm sitting here thinking about buying more before the split and debating about tomorrow or let it ride. I'll definitely stay away from the open, look at it early afternoon. But I expect it to continue up through the week and next week. Lot's a folks will want in on the split both prior and after IMO.

Anyone else have an opinion on this? Anything to help a couple of po'little 'ol folks make a wise decision here?

Regards,
Laura

Lane: Lately, on a typical up day for Dell, it is likely to gap up 1 or 2 points at the open, then drop back between 10AM and 10:30, then move up and down in roughly equal 1 point swings on reduced volume, then begin showing strength at 2:30, with a strong finish in the last 15 to 5 minutes.

However, tomorrow will not be typical. There's a lot of rational exuberance around. The opening gap up will be magnified. The 10AM fallback may not occur. If I were buying (I can't because I'm out of cash from buying calls today), I might buy at 10:15 to 10:20, definitely before Mikey speaks on CNBC. That's going to launch a rally in Dell and other techs.
