Dell Computer is recalling certain lithium-ion laptop batteries because of some cases of them spontaneously catching on fire. Check this website to see if your Dell laptop battery is affected:

Note: other laptop makes with lithium-ion batteries have also caught fire, but haven't had recalls issued (yet).

This is going to be extremely costly for DELL.

Meaning the shareholders value the company more now than before? Has the cost really have no effect on its share price? Or is it some macro factors that are affecting it? Hm...

The last major change I made to my profolio was because I didn't like dell as my largest holding.
Moved a chunk out of teck. Which I went into thinking it was over avoided as it was over embrased in the past. Anyway, moved a chunk to health care/bio teck.
Don't really think that Dell is that inovative.
On a positive note it looks like they are taking care of their customers.
So my next computer may be a Dell.
