don't know if anyone has seen this... this is an old article does anyone know if he still holds a position in ampex ? Return of the Tech Zombies
Mr. Koe's fund has an average compound annual return of 25% since its founding 4.5 years ago. It shot up 41% last quarter, based largely on his concentrated position in Xicor. This company is typical of the orphaned holdings that Mr. Koe prefers. He now holds a strong position in Ampex, a maker of digital storage systems primarily for video. In Mr. Koe's view, "If it were a two year-old company, its stock would be trading at $20." Ampex's CEO, Ed Bramson, completed an LBO and then mounted a huge reorganization. The head-count is down from 7,000 to 500, real estate and a division are being sold off, the product line has been cut from hundreds of offerings to only 16 in the last two years, and 80% of revenues are from products less than two years old. The company's products have found new vertical markets, including a large account with Visa. herring.com
