MICHAEL S. DELL...1998 Stock Option Bonus...3,200,000 in underlying shares. (source: DELL 10k)

He didn't even sell half of his bonus. Forget the shares he owned before.

PLEASE NOTE: "In accordance with the terms of the ESOIP, Mr. Topfer, Mr. Rollins and Mr. Meredith each elected to receive discounted stock options in lieu of 100% of his annual bonus, and Mr. Kelly elected to receive discounted stock options in lieu of 30% of his annual bonus. The amount shown represents the amount of the annual bonus awarded, whether paid or foregone in lieu of discounted options. In lieu of the foregone amounts, those persons received options covering the following number of shares: Mr. Topfer, 157,016; Mr. Rollins, 88,396; Mr. Meredith, 80,134; and Mr. Kelly, 13,640. The options were granted on March 20, 1998 and have an exercise price of $50.95 (which was 80% of the market value of the common stock on that date). These options are subject to a one-year vesting period and, accordingly, do not vest and not exercisable until the first anniversary of the date of grant." -Source: DELL 10k

Hardly the actions of men expecting the company's stock to tank or remain flat.

Mr. Topfer had to sell his current shares to provide cash flow, since he deferred 100% of his $2,000,000 bonus to options that do not vest for one year.

Don't be an idiot. Read the fine print before you go off half-cocked.

"DELL has very negative money flow last Friday?"

Stock was only up 1/16 on Friday. Perhaps the money flow was not negative enough? I remember there has been many days when DELL had 5 point gain a day. I wonder what was the money flow back then. Negative infinite? Is there such thing as negative infinite? negative infinite is the same thing as positive infinite, right? Any Math PhD out there?
