Gigamon

Am 8 Mai hat Elliott Managment in ihrem SEC-Filling noch davon gesprochen das Gigamon "signifikant unterbewertet" ist und eine "attraktive Investmentgelegenheit" sie, da stand die Aktie bei $33. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/08/hedge-fund-activist-paul-singer-just-found-his-next-target-gigamon.html Und jetzt kommen die mit einem läppischen Angebot von $38. Das ist echt ein Witz, ich hoffe die Aktionäre lassen sich diese Frechheit nicht gefallen! Erste Anwaltskanzleien sind ja schon aktiv geworden und ich hoffe die werden dem Management und den Elliott Leuten ordentlich auf die Finger hauen.
