Porsche being a SOB, good read!

Old news, but it was so well done its a classic! Nothing like making 6-12 billion euro's over three years.

I thought this was going to be how they went after EVERYBODY a few years back if they used the word Porsche in any way shape or form.

Oh yeah that was brilliant. It reminds me of V for Vendetta which I was watching again last night. Get all the pieces lined up without letting anyone know and then make your move to the entire world
Here is a question, how was Porshe able to buy so much stock without anyone noticing? 75% of any company is a huge amount of money and VW isn't exactly a small company....

I am pretty sure that would be illegal today.

Porsche
What is the difference between a cactus and a porsche?
With a porsche, the pricks are on the inside

Old news.
Because Porsche is who is in dire financial trouble at the moment. Wiederking is about to be ousted as CEO and VW is offering to pay off most of their debt for control of Porsche. The clever move by Porsche didn't account for the world markets taking a beating the way they did.

There strategy is a complete failure; the Lamb ate the Wolf (VW>Porsche).

Failure? They made a few extra billion and VW is making their debt go away. Sounds like a pretty smart move to me.
Anyone want to calculate what the ROI is on $12B @ 4.25% interest?

If you take that annual rate and divide by 365, you get about $1.4 million per day. Not too shabby.

What I see is a brilliant business move that solved a lot of problems. Truely a world class play here; billionaire's poker!
How do you take a company thats sucking wind and 10B in debt, and get out with 10B or more in three years? In an economy that is as bad as this one?Thats what this was, and it was perfectly exicuted.
