Are these sudden rises fuelled by Short Squeezes? There must be some serious pressure on the 30m shorts out there, some fraction of whom (presumably) must have been shorting as it fell from high 90's to low 80's. (I wonder if Lucretius Taurus is still one, I remember him saying he actually had shorted around the 95 - 98 range a month or two ago, just before it fell from its high at 98-ish) A dangerous game, shorting this company, as many of the Dell heads here have pointed out in the past.

I agree! It is fairly easy to spot the wolves in sheepskin. They are like clouds without rain. Nice to look at but no substance. The light hearted hyping of ones's stocks is fun and is obvious. The fact that everyone is scouring the www for info and presenting it here is like having your own news force. The thing I like most on the Dell thread is that no one can post something without being asked "what is the source of your info?" I do not pay attention to anything that is not backed up with a source. Oh what fun it is to ride! Phil
