He has a repeated track record of creating value for shareholders through reform, asset sales, or pressing for a merger. Everyone points to what happened at TWA, but TWA was the exception not the rule, and most people associated with him at the time believe it was not his intention to ruin the company. Does any one on here honestly believe that Yang, Bostock, et al. will not be tied up in litigation for the next 5 years as a result of the breaches in their fiduciary duties? Seriously, Yang's ego is bigger than his hair. I’m tired of people trashing Icahn - Yahoo is a carcass and he’s trying to salvage what value remains.
