Not for sale?

Article Abstract:

The observer of corporate life do not always fully understand the nature of the relationship with respect to the behavior of a board of directors when faced with a hostile bid for the company they serve. The immediate reaction of the board on receiving end of a bid is frequently a mixture of outrage and fear, as the outrage is expressed on behalf of the shareholders which is directed towards the enormity of the impertinence implied by the ludicrously low value placed by the bidder on the target company.

Irrational exuberance: Another bout

Article Abstract:

Robert Shiller, author of 'Irrational Exuberance', had accurately predicted the collapse of the stock market in 2000 but believes that the lessons of the late 1990s have not been learned and there is a potential for a repeat performance. It is observed that stock market booms are not provided by improved economic performance but are based on increased expectations, which remain unfulfilled.
