Needed for acquisitions

Dell's Go-Private transaction exposes the disingenuous nature of the cash hoarding rationalizations.
Last year, we were large shareholders of Dell. We were told that foreign cash couldn't be
repatriated, and that domestic cash needed to be saved for strategic acquisitions, financial flexibility
and tough times.
We found their attitude toward capital allocation to be so unappealing that we sold the stock. We
suspect that we weren't the only shareholders who were frustrated. The frustration helped depress
the stock.
