RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Shakeup. RH is almost 60 years old. While he is certainly not a "stop gap" CEO, I don't think he will want to run HEM for more than a few years at most. Put yourself in his shoes. You have all your net worth in the form of HEM shares and you are in the later stages of your professional career. What would you do? IMO, RH will want to do anything and everything that will lift the share price (strategic initatives, cost rationalization, product focus, licensing etc etc). Once that's done, look for a buyer and sell the business. It's the logical conclusion and one that allows RH et. al to get the most for their shares. That doesn't mean a sale is imminent, but the probability of one occuring as the ultimate exit strategy for shareholders has increased considerably.
