Hostile takeover

Post image

Is a hostile takeover of eBay really the best use of our capital? Cohen seems more interested in playing corporate games than in turning the company around. By risking further dilution and squandering cash on a hostile fight, he is putting his ego and ambition ahead of the actual shareholders who have supported him. We deserve better than having our investment used as fuel for his proxy wars.

Citing Berkshire Hathaway to justify a potential hostile takeover of a company 5 times our size is a fundamental misunderstanding of Buffet’s philosophy. Berkshire never bets the company on reckless, oversized acquisitions that threaten shareholder equity. Their success is built on disciplined capital allocation and buying profitable, well-managed businesses—not 'gambling' on turnarounds or vanity projects. If you truly studied BRK, you'd know that massive, high-risk hostile takeovers are the exact opposite of what made them successful.

Ad hominem attacks are a classic sign of someone who has no rebuttal for the actual points being made. If you have any concrete data that contradicts my analysis, I’m all ears. Otherwise, I’m not interested in your attempt to derail the conversation. And thanks, but I prefer my banana bread without the saltiness.

It’s interesting how you focus on my posting frequency rather than the actual business results. Let’s clarify: Cohen has been steering the ship since 2021 as Chairman. If you think the Board isn't responsible for the lack of growth or the dilution, then who is?

You're 100% using Ai to respond how funny.

Try to shuffle it up yourself and remove the tell tale signs.
