Is Dell Computer worth $24 per share?


Is billionaire computer geek, Michael Dell, acting like a greedy techie billionaire to impress his friends (or for other reasons)?

That's the way it is starting to look with the Dell board approved $13.65 per share buyout with major shareholders calling it greedy and way too little, among other polite words.

Here's a sample:

"This deal is so compellingly unfair to shareholder that I don't know where to begin" - Richard Pzena, CIO, Pzena Investment Management

"This is a hard deal to get done at this price. There will be resistance."  - Don Yacktman, Yacktman Funds
