  • Icahn To Board: "BEA Belongs To Its Shareholders, Not To You" [View article]
    Well, BEA better pray that Oracle will put the deal back on the table. Carl Icahn's law suit isn't the only one they have to worry about, hundreds (if not thousands) of other investors are probably planning similar action as we speak. You can bet the BEA Board will be scrambling to contact Oracle in the near future www.newsvisual.com/new...

  • BEA to Icahn: We'll Sell, But Not for $17/Share [View article]
    If BEA had another interested party, then why haven't they made their interest known yet? This way, BEA could hope to start a bidding war between Oracle and Company X and hopefully come out way ahead. I don't think BEA has another interested buyer, and in a few days after Icahn's lawsuit (not to mention the law suits from angry investors) BEA will be running back to Oracle to ask them if the offer is still on the table www.newsvisual.com/new...

  • Analysts Give BEA Scant Hope For Alternative To Oracle Bid [View article]
    I thought the original offer from Oracle was more than fair. I understand that BEA was undervalued, but it wasn't that undervalued. Looks like I was right. Now Oracle has some room to wiggle as far as offers go. BEA may pay because of their recalcitrance. Carl Icahn's goal is to sell BEA. Oracle may just offer a bit lower price now and BEA may not have a choice but to accept it. If BEA balks corporate ties could be used to pressure BEA www.newsvisual.com/new... .
