Here is a recap of the top news items from this week on Wall Street:
1. Dell (Nasdaq: DELL) shares tumbled more than 9% on Friday following a Q3 earnings miss, reported on Thursday after the close. Traders had been bidding up the school prior to the results as Dell's turnaround story has been a hot tech story recently.
2. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was grilled on Capitol Hill this week, taking on a flurry of questions -- maybe even accusations -- related to his role in the financial crisis. Several members of Congress even went as far as asking Geithner to step down from his position.
