Dell started from humble beginnings. Like many big technology companies such as Apple and Microsoft; Dell was started by a college student. Michael Dell’s idea of building computers to order was a brilliant one that became lucrative. Nowadays, computers are now mainly utilized by businesses and hobbyists, everyone is using them. Dell managed to remain at the forefront in the technology industry by investing in people, betting on technology to guide and shape its future and by emphasizing its culture. However, Dell has changed by doubling down on its efforts and transforming itself along the way. It has gone public again but when it was private, the tech company heavily invested in expansion of its product line by selling software, hardware and data center services. In fact, Dell spent $67 billion for EMC, a storage hardware company. This was a record-breaking deal which helped Dell sustained slow growth for personal computers. However, since then, Dell decided to go public again, in a strong position, with a buy-back price of $120 per share for a grand total of $23.9 billion, to enable the company to grow stronger and simplify the ownership structure. Dell is continuing to spend money on information technology; however, the company is trending towards taking advantage of cloud computing services from companies like Salesforce and Amazon rather than building new data centers to host business applications.
I believe that for a person playing the speculative trade would have fared well during the time Dell went private because the company has always been a in a good position to grow and shape itself within integrated and related trends, even though the future of the company depends on keeping up or staying ahead of computer trends such as Edge Computer. In addition, speculative trades fared well because Dell shares increase by 2% to $13.12 while other technology giants like Microsoft shares declined.

The market has already incorporated expectations and speculations about certain restructuring into its price. Also, the market today is more efficient due to technological innovations which make it possible to share information instantly.
