bev, I sold my long on Dell this pm but got back in before the close. Its relative strength still seems high (I compare price recovery against other stocks). Without the Brazil rumour I guess the market may still have found some reason to profit take. But tomorrow is another day and assuming negative news but positive earnings (mostly), I would still expect a positive run-up prior to earnings. S&P down - but I expect that to change. If some of this selling is tax related, we should obviously be looking for weakness in stocks like Cpq rather than Dell. Don's last index update is negatively biased so maybe I'm wrong. Still, I am not sure why the Dow can't pull the Nasdaq up .... for a change. Just to reassure you .... I am not a Dellhead - I just like my stocks to be underpinned by forthcoming news, and Dell currently fits this description. Good luck Stephen
