 Dell?s stock soared on the cost-cutting news, but tapered off after announcements that dividends would be cut unless shareholders personally held 100,000 shares or more.

I'm not really sure unless Dell announced that it was converting this stock from Common stock to Preferred stock.  Even then I don't think they could do it.

BTW Preferred stock holders get first dibs on dividends in exchange for voting rights whereas Common stock is the opposite--Common stock holders get to vote but do not have first dibs on dividends.

Would of been really funny if they had outsourced his job
and gave it to someone in India.
