You do have a way with comparisons! Now, trick question: if DELL goes down 12%/day as it did Friday, when does it reach 0?<<


That's not a trick question!-g- It would be worth 88% of what it was the day before.. for...ever, or until dec. 31 11:59 1999, when one second later it would be worth 88% of what is was 100 years from then..1900-g-

Never. The only way to reach 0 is to fall 100% in one day.

Gosh, there was a fellow on CNBC this morning--I just caught the tail end of it--and he sounded very relaxed and calm. But he said that Dell was going to go down. At least I think he did. Maybe I misunderstood.

In any case, we should all relax because anyone who says anything like that is not worth getting all tensed up about.
