"The Quiksilver in Memory of Eddie Aikau has been called ON for Wednesday, Feb 10!!!" - World Surfborting League I am going to watch all day and into the inside closeout section
One last hurrah for quicky it seems. I wonder who/what will end up scooping them up. I'm thinking the evil burton snowboards conglomerate
Nope. Either Wal-Mart or Costco. But actually, Billabong bought Xcel a few years back, so I would guess they will buy Quicksilver as well as they try to monopolize the wetsuit business. Which will great because then "work refusers" won't be able to surf because wet suits will be $1-2000. Cool, huh??
Crazy how badly Quiksilver ****ed up with the Rossignol purchase then sale. Bought for $560m, sold for $50m. Oops.
Looks like I'm going to have to move some place warmer ....darn. Good for the folks @ Rossignol! When I really think about it though, the money would be awesome, but if you put your life's work into a company and sell, does it sting to see some corporate giant ruin the good name you created?
They also sold off Cleveland Golf for $133 mil, which was part of the Rossignol purchase. So they really sold for $188 mil, not $50... Still a sh!tty deal, but not as bad
Dude...didn't you have quite an accurate predictions thread in times past? I think you're on to something here.
