Activist investor Carl Icahn has taken a large stake in Dell in a move to get a large cash payout from the struggling PC maker.
Carl Icahn in renown for such actions, where he will buy a large enough stake to influence the boards decision or start a proxy battle. His infamous trophies includes Motorola, RJR Nabisco, Time Warner and etc..
It always interest me when Carl is mentioned as it always involves a longer saga that will unfold.
I am not advocating that anyone buy Dell shares or short Dell shares but just to sit on the sidelines and enjoy watching Mr Icahn make Mr Dell sweat before coming to terms with Mr Icahn.
If you feel you have to take a position, I would favor running alongside Mr Icahn than Mr Dell.
