I should probably learn to take the money and run more quickly. Back in December I wrote about Diebold (DBD) at about $33 per share and said investors should probably look elsewhere due to earnings quality concerns and what I considered to be unsustainable cash flows.

<> In the interest of full disclosure, this is the third time in as many months that a takeover bid has made one of my bearish calls look stupid (at least temporarily.) In September I w...

Diebold (DBD)recently announced that they cannot sell off their voting machine business. In my Nov 8, 2006 post I had strongly urged them to do so. At that time the private equity business and the madcap lenders who provided liquidity were ever so plentiful.

Today they are saying the world has changed; private equity and liquidity are not as aggressive and they cannot offload the puppy. Convenient straw to grasp at. At the same time one is reminded of how sales have dropped so dramatically. Diebold feels that many voting machine purchase decisions have been delayed. They need you to...

But economies cannot develop without financial institutions functioning well. The self serve concept reduces operating costs. Yet Diebold seems to not have any thought leadership. If you are selling into a specific market you need to know where its going and offer compelling products. Diebold is signa...

Techonomics and the ATM

 

“By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination.”- Christopher Columbus

Needless to say, it has been an incredibly tumultuous environment. The economic outlook, despite a few specks of light in a dark sky remains quite bleak. Despite this, I have been encouraged by valuations, by the tape action, and by the prevailing sentiment that continues to express doubt in the strength of this rally.
