12、ce juicy Apple尽管卡尔伊坎仍在陷入困境的电脑生产商戴尔公司搅和,他已经抽出了时间力争另一家科技巨头。8月13日,这位积极的投资老手透露他已经持有苹果的股份,但是具体持有多少则避而不谈。然而,伊坎先生的意图很明确:他想要这家消费电子产品巨头扩张计划,将1470亿美元市值里的部分资金以现金和有价证券的形式返还给股东。ALTHOUGH he is still stirring things up at Dell, an ailing computer-maker, Carl Icahn has found time to tilt at another tech titan.

14、47 billion of cash and marketable securities to shareholders.伊坎先生也仍在从戴尔公司争取更多的钱,他正在游说股东反对一起收购。这项收购计划是由戴尔的创始人迈克尔戴尔和一家私募股权公司银湖发起的。来自伊坎先生的压力已经使收购方提高了3.5亿美元的价格,使得收购价达到了248亿美元。他已经将斗争带到了法庭,通过投标争取得到更多的钱。Mr Icahn is also after more money at Dell, where he has been lobbying with allies against a proposed buy

16、了不少积极投资者的注意。今年早些时候,一个投资基金ValueAct Capital表示其持有了微软公司20亿美元的股份。加拿大银行捷豹金融也鼓励陷入危机的黑莓创新思维。今年8月12日,黑莓公司表示其正在探索战略选择,包括结盟和出售公司。一家对冲基金艾略特管理公司游说数据存储公司NetApp做出改变,该公司认为NetApp能做出更多来提高股东的收益。Other tech firms have been attracting the attention of activist investors too.

18、t, a hedge fund, has been lobbying for change at NetApp, a data-storage firm that it thinks could do more to improve returns to shareholders.积极投资人瞄准科技公司的一个原因是,很多科技公司跟苹果一样在经济衰退时拥有很大的现金流,但是资金利用不足。金融家希望他们放松自己的财政,放出更多的现金。伊坎先生想要苹果增加并加速其股份回购计划。现在该计划是截止到2015年末,苹果公司返还600亿美元给股东。One reason tech firms have fou

20、 share buy-back programme that is currently set to return $60 billion to shareholders by the end of 2015.积极投资者瞄准科技公司的另一个原因就是科技的日新月异甚至会搞垮行业巨头。看一看微软的例子,在个人电脑时期成垄断之势,而在平板电脑智能手机时代则处于苦苦挣扎的境地。投资者希望通过推动公司做出更快改变适应市场变化来挣得更多利润。Another reason that tech firms make tempting targets for shareholder activists is t
