Shares of Dell Inc. may be trade actively Friday, after it said profit and sales rose in the first quarter.

Dell has been cutting costs and trying to fend off competition from Hewlett-Packard Co., which leads in terms of worldwide shipments of personal computers.

Meanwhile, shares of J. Crew Group Inc. dropped in Thursday's late trading session, after the apparel retailer lowered its full-year profit outlook as consumers continued scaling back on spending even as it said fiscal first-quarter profit rose 24 percent, on a 15 percent sales jump.

Elsewhere, stronger-than-expected sales and cost-cutting measures led semiconductor maker Marvell Technology Group Ltd. to swing to a profit in its fiscal first quarter. Sales rose 27 percent and topped expectations.

 I grabbed Dell last night and gained a little. I forgot about MRVL and it was too late when I logged in to grab it. Thanks for the info!

Hooray for Marvel! I heard they were going to make a Thor movie. I want to see a Green Lantern one!!! 

Thanks for the info

DELL has a nice little gap up today.

 strategy is to short it if it goes up a few more days, as it'll test today's gapup (even if it may not fill it for a few months)

they are looking good right now

I dont think its the same marvell you are thinking about.     I picked up Dell and MRVL and did alright with them yesterday.

 I was confussed as well. I thought MRVL was the comic company and thought everyone was jumping on it because Iron Man was doing well. I already have a few lower priced semi conductor stocks that are doing fine so maybe I'll pick it up in a few days or not.
