I'm open to suggestions.
My fi...Well exactly.<br /><br />I'm open to suggestions.<br /><br />My first thought was to approach the Open Handset Alliance with a well thought out business plan. Nokia isn't a massive problem for them yet but it could well be if it implodes and Microsoft or Apple end up with all the patents. None of them can really buy Nokia on their own, their would be a competition investigation and Nokia's assets don't really align well with any one companies needs but if they could share ownership and access to the assets it might well be a worthwhile investment.<br /><br />My second thought is to organise a shareholder revolt. There are plenty of long-term investors holding Nokia shares, Nokia's pension scheme for one, and many of them are holding shares worth a fifth of what they paid for them. If they sell them they realise the loss but if they hold them the company might collapse. Enough of them might be willing to tolerate a dilution if there was a reasonable prospect of the shares returning to pre-Elop levels in the medium term.<br /><br />Perhaps a combination of both tactics might be possible.<br /><br />I quite like the idea of just walking into a bank and asking for a business loan of £5B but I can't see anyone taking that seriously.<br /><br />That's partly the point of this blog, crowd-sourcing ideas for finding financing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16411095679337050885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523856644487312718.post-43134660624224600522013-08-26T19:05:04.228-07:002013-08-26T19:05:04.228-07:00Chris,
