CNBC needs to tell their sponsors to get some fresh commercials. I'm sick of the Dad who struggles to remember to call his little daughter with the thunder and the overwrought ballad in the background and the gal who manages her time down to the dime and loses her papers near the swimming pool. Who does this appeal to?

You misquoted Faber. He said that DELL did not close below its 200 dma, not that it did not trade below it. Regardless, neither happened: quote.yahoo.com And, a closeup on April: quote.yahoo.com

You seem to be confusing 50DMA with 200DMA when you say, " It did trade below it intraday 10/8/98 but closed solidly above it that day." Not so as Tom also demonstrated. On 10/8/98, the 50 DMA for DELL was 28 7/8, the 200 DMA was 20 15/16, the low for the day was 20 3/8 (below the 200 DMA), and the close was 24 1/4 (above the 200 DMA). That is the most recent time until today that DELL has traded intraday below its 200 DMA and it hasn't closed below the 200 DMA in more than 3 years as David Faber stated.
