Chips_B_MalroyElliott Associates, L P is a "private" company, meaning I cannot find out who deposits money thereMar 04 00:23
DaemonFCChips_B_Malroy, I think that's the pointMar 04 00:23
Chips_B_MalroyBut that in itself should be a problem for the Fund trying to try over Novell, shouldn't it?Mar 04 00:23

DaemonFCnow he basically owns Yahoo and it cost nothingMar 04 00:26
Chips_B_MalroyI would bet money, that Gates, MS, the Gates Foundation, Ballmer, Allen, have money behind this fundMar 04 00:27

Chips_B_Malroywhat is funny, is tht hedge funds have been shrinking the last couple of years, and only Elliot and a very few others grew, Elliot grew by quite a bit actuallyMar 04 00:29

Chips_B_MalroySinger has lowballed the bid, in hope another company will come in and bid more, so that drives up the price of the 8.5% that Elliot already has, profit, short term, mission accomplished.Mar 04 18:59
Chips_B_MalroyBut if that dosen't happen, and Novell will surely reject the bid, wait for some minor setback in the SCO case, or the next quarterly results from Novell, something bad, and then, true to form, Elliot will reoffer at a lower bid.Mar 04 19:01
