chief, blue bird is on fire today....

I am not all that familiar with the Gillette management's attitude to retail investors. Still, I have a faint memory that in the early years of this decade, they took some initiatives that was not perceived by the investment community as a fair practice.Though later, they won back their hearts by infusing a great deal of money into the company. This was a very generous gesture. I no longer remember the exact details. If anyone is aware of what transpired, I suggest you to come forward and share those for the benefit of all our boarders. There have been many buyouts in the past, especially from MNCs. I have participated in a few of them, including Astra IDL, Cabot and Infar. The retail investors were not fairly rewarded in all of them. The Indian buyouts are also not often very fair, Recently there was a buyout to delist Parry Agro, a holding company of the Murugappas. They got away with paying just half its intrinsic value. Not to mention about how the Ruias recently tried to pickpocket their fellow shareholders. I am afraid that in most cases the small investors are taken for a ride. Therefore it is not easy for me to accept that we might get a fair deal from Gillette buyout, if there ever is going to be one. In the event of a buy out, the Indian promoter may be our one last hope to get a fair deal. This happened recently in Wyeth though it was not during a buyout. A few years back, Wyeth tried to launch a block buster through their unlisted 100% subsidiary. The Atul group, with representation in the board, rallied the retail investors around them and spearheaded the fightback and thwarted the parents attempt to bypass the listed entity. If Wyeth has a worthwhile PE multiple today, it is due to that assertion. Obviously the Atul group may have been guided by pure self-interest rather than any real concern for the small investor. But it did save the day for the hapless retail investor. I don't know the Poddars. However, I see them (and their spanner in the works, if there is one, as assumed) as our margin of safety if the parent tries to ruthlessly cannibalize the retail investor. With these observations I am not questioning your assessment of the situation, only sharing a few of my thoughts, inspired from experiences as a small fish among corporate sharks....
