Rival Dell Buyout Plans Duke It Out

Posted by samzenpus on from the last-bid-standing dept.

jfruh writes "Michael Dell's plan to take the company he founded private, with help from Microsoft, isn't going smoothly. Corporate raider and major Dell stockholder Carl Icahn has presented a rival plan that would shut Michael Dell out. Perhaps predictably, the Dell board isn't sold on Icahn's idea, saying it will leave the company short of cash, even though they haven't been able to fully evaluate it yet."

    I dont think he has any real interest in buying the company. I think he is trying to leverage a higher payout on his shares in the end. Cant blame him for wanting to maximize his cash but he is really acting like a dick

    Notice a pattern in those you named? Romney didn't run them.

    And he didn't take risks either, he made sure to get paid first.

    Blame all you want on Obama whiners, Romney and his ilk are nothing but parasites, and you'll probably blame the unions while he walks away with millions in the bank.
