Charles Sizemore appeared on CNBC last night to discuss the Dell (Nasdaq:$DELL) leveraged buyout.
The $24.4 billion proposal to privatize U.S. technology giant Dell is part of founder Michael Dell’s efforts to transform the company into a ‘mini IBM’, said analysts, as the world’s third largest personal computer (PC) maker struggles to protect its market share against competitors.
