At least symbolically, it is clear that he isn't the failed and off-putting King Robby. But, investors, don't ever think articles like this mean the company will necessarily be any better off. And a word to the wise: If the CEO ever comes to your lunch table, even if the guy is wearing khakis and an orange apron, make room.
Fed Composition 101
Speaking of CEOs of troubled companies, let's talk Michael Dell. Specifically, let's talk
last Thursday's press release from the company about continuing accounting troubles. Or, uh, its accounting troubles that are winding down.
Anyhow, does anyone else think that
Dell (DELL Quote - Cramer on DELL - Stock Picks) is taking writing lessons from the
Fed? The company drops hints that the investigation is ending, but it seems to have no idea about charges. There is a chance of rain, and it might be sunny.
Wall Street seems pretty split on the meaning -- or lack thereof -- of Dell's comments. But I want to throw this one open to readers. Give me your best interpretation of Dell's Fed imitation. I might give out an award to the best, especially if you can mix insight with humor. You won't win any money, but I promise to grace you with my presence at the lunch table. Most important, a wish for health and happiness to those of you sitting down tonight at a Passover table.
