    Default Could Bass Pro buy out Cabela’s?

    http://www.theolympian.com/news/busi...e47976615.html

    "Cabela’s Inc., under pressure from activist investor Elliott Associates to pursue a sale, has started exploring strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value."

    "Investors in the company have suggested that Cabela’s also could sell its credit-card business, which has almost $5 billion in loans, or its roughly $1 billion in real estate holdings."

    "Cabela’s shares rose 2.1 percent to $47.89 at the close in New York. The stock has fallen 9.1 percent this year."

    "Cabela’s revenue and profit growth have sputtered recently. A surge in gun sales in past years has abated, and the company said in October that “significant weakness” in its fall apparel and footwear offerings contributed to disappointing third-quarter earnings and sales.
    Less than a week after Cabela’s reported those results, Elliott disclosed an 11 percent stake in the company and said it would push for a shake-up.
    Cabela’s was co-founded by brothers Richard and Jim Cabela in 1961. Richard died last year, and Jim, in his mid-70s, serves as chairman.
    The company has 77 stores, all in the U.S. and Canada,"

    Don't know if it is or not, but I do know it's about the third time this same story has been posted.
    Rules are written in the stone,
    Break the rules and you get no bones,
    all you get is ridicule, laughter,
    and a trip to the house of pain.
