Billionaire investor Carl Icahn has proposed an alternative to Dell’s plans for a $24.4 billion buyout that would take the PC maker private. He said the company should offer shareholders a special dividend totaling $9 per share if they reject the buyout offer. If the board declines to promise that, Icahn wants Dell to combine a shareholder buyout vote with its annual meeting to elect new directors.
Retailers post
modest gains
Retailers are reporting modest sales gains for February as consumers, uninspired by cool weather and worried about the economy, shopped cautiously for spring merchandise. Overall, 15 retailers reported revenue at stores open at least a year — a key indicator of retail health — rose an average of 1.7 percent. That was down from the 4.5 percent rise in January.

claims decline
The number of Americans seeking unemployment aid fell 22,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 344,000 and the four-week average of applications dropped for the first time in three weeks. Weekly applications are a proxy for layoffs. When they decline, it suggests companies are cutting fewer workers and may be more willing to hire.
