Dell buyout on Monday?

Further to my Dell and SilverLake? post of 15^th Jan 13, it really looks as if this might happen. Although we steer clear of rumours, the stories seem well sourced and comments from our own contacts would seem to support them. Today Reuters reports – See  Dell nears buyout– that the deal will be announced as soon as Monday. Michael Dell will be the largest shareholder in the newly private group with SilverLake and Microsoft minority shareholders. No rumours of likely price. Dell has a ccurrent market value of c$23b, so its going to be one of the biggest ‘take private’ deals we have ever recorded – if it happens
