Dell said Tuesday morning that it would start buying back a gargantuan $10 billion worth of its stock. To no avail. Its price dropped to below where it was in January before Michael Dell returned as CEO, recouping only a little since then. Dell has $15 billion in the bank and generates a billion dollars a quarter.
