Dell Goes Private


At its height, Dell's direct shipping personal computer business dominated the industry so much that it could dictate terms to suppliers and even mock smaller rivals, such as Apple (AAPL). That success dwindled as the move to mobile devices and consumer dissatisfaction began to erode sales and market share.
"I bought my last Dell a few years ago and swore the company off," says Barry Ritholtz, the CEO of Fusion IQ, in the attached video, adding he "literally had to download something called the Dell De-crapifier" just to get the junk off it. As he sees it, the real winner in this offer is Michael Dell himself, an assertion he says should really come as no surprise. Check out the full story here.
