John, I believe what we're talking about isn't Kumar, but the possible false/misleading statement said by H&Q. I'm not sure exactly if they said it, or of legalities of false statements.

John, analysts like Kumar do have a responsibility, by virtue of their "pundit" status and their position on the "bully pulpit", to be clear and unambiguous in how they state their views to the investing public...That doesn't mean they should coddle fools, but I would have more respect for an analyst who states his/her views clearly, even if I don't like what he/she is saying..Kumar obviously did not do this, or Dell management would not have felt compelled to set the record straight...By the way, I do not use margin, especially in a crappy market like this one...I also feel I have progressed beyond the point of being gullible, and I am not one of the "lemmings" who sold yesterday.
