I'm sure DELL will be able to find a way to do this and make it profitable. Mo, what the heck is going on with Mr. Softie. Are some funds or insiders dumping the stock. Or has something happened that I don't know about....

A dedicated following looks to Daniel Miller, a high school freshman in suburban New Jersey, for his stock picks — and has made the 15-year-old's discussion group a popular haunt. The group of cyber investors has proven that in the momentum-driven world of day trading, almost anyone's hot stock tip can become a self-fulfilling prophecy if enough buyers are willing to act on it.
