It is amazing that shareholders put up with this horrific decision making. Instead of the company splitting into two, how about a brand new board of directors along with a new management team. True to the old adage: An new broom sweeps clean…<\/p>\n
I wonder if this is what happens behind the closed doors at Motorola (MOT):<\/p>\n
Board Member 1: We need to do something, I think that some investors are questioning our decisions.<\/p>\n
Board Member 2: Really? I think we still have them believing that we have another Razor coming out.<\/p>\n
Zander: Razor? Who said Razor?<\/p>\n
Board Member 1: How about a stock split? Yeah, that may put them off the trail.<\/p>\n
Zander: Split? Who said Split?<\/p>\n
Board Member 2: Well, I don’t know, maybe we should work on a new design for the Razor3? Remember how popular we were in 2003?<\/p>\n
Board Member 1: Maybe a dividend, or a how about a buyback?<\/p>\n
Zander: Shopping? I want to go!<\/p>\n
Board Member 1: How about we split the company so we can have two companies. That will let us hide out longer and undetected. Yes! Yes!<\/p>\n
Zander: What about me?<\/p>\n
Board Member 2: I want to be President now! I want to be President!<\/p>\n
Board Member 1: Of course you will be!<\/p>\n
Zander: What about me?<\/p>\n
Board Member 2: I want shares, I want shares!<\/p>\n
Board Member 1: More shares! It looks like we are doing something! We are so smart!<\/p>\n
Zander: Smart, Zander Smart….<\/p>\n
Board Member 1: OKAY, I am going home….Let the lawyers deal with it now.<\/p>\n
Board Member 2: Me too. I am going to pick out furniture for my new office. But I need to get lunch first. Wow, it is 11am already! Ed, do you want lunch?<\/p>\n
Zander: Lunch? Lunch? I want Lunch!<\/p>\n
Meeting adjourned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Possible?<\/p>\n
