Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

Reverse merger

Good read, for anybody who is interested.

A company once valued at $18bn on the US stock market will come full circle on Tuesday when shareholders in a little-known listed entity called DVMT vote on whether to accept a reverse merger offer from Dell. If they say yes — and most observers expect them to — the computer company born in Michael Dell’s dormitory room almost 40 years ago will return to the stock market after a five-year hiatus with a hotly disputed enterprise value of as much as $100bn.

when it was taken as private Dell had a value of more than 18B$, and investors were duped, as of now they are offloading the debt laden sick company for a whopping 100b$, the fate is certain, what can happen is seen with EMC and the next question is when will this 100b$ may disappear and how many 401k will suffer.

the result, poor will be more poorer, and the rich will enjoy. who is laughing there?

Do you really want to buy Dell’s debt? After the last stockholder theft and in today’s climate. Buyer beware.

There's no substantive difference between a merger or a reverse merger. Nationsbank and Bank of America had a reverse merger when Nations Bank acquired Bank of America acquired Bank of America and renamed themselves to Bank of America. Same when Southwestern Bell became SBC and acquired AT&T Wireless then later AT&T proper and renamed themselves to AT&T. Or when Kmart acquired Sears and renamed themselves to Sears Holdings. Companies can do whatever the hell they want in a merger/reverse merger, and the advantage/disadvantages are always particular and highly specific to that single transaction. You can never compare between any two and gain any wisdom, because it all comes down to the words of the tens of thousands of pages of legalese.

The bare essentials is that Dell will have potentially have a public company "acquire" it so it can go on a stock exchange.
