To Sell or Not to Sell

Reported by InvestmentWires Staff, 

Is cash really king? Janus Capital founder and ceo Thomas Bailey is not sure. Bailey is trying to decide whether to sell his 6 percent stake in the firm at last year's pre-market plunge stock price for a grand total or around $600 million or wait a year and risk losing 100-200 million dollars as the stock price remains depressed, reports The Wall Street Journal. Bailey is also considering less tangible ramifications such as the possibility that he will lose much of his stake at Janus once he sells all of his shares.
