Carl Icahn Running Quotations

Don't go in and tell somebody else how to run their business.

With some exceptions, the wrong people are running U.S. companies. It's been that way for years, and it hasn't gotten much better.

Certain companies have publicized my Hart Scott filings in the hope that this might induce investors into running the price up, which might cause me to sell my shares, make a profit and become uninvolved in the company, ... While I am flattered that investors would buy on the news that I have made a Hart Scott filing, I believe that they are taking risks which are not being explained to them by the companies making the disclosure.

This conglomerate concept doesn't work, there is no synergy - just a bunch of people spending a large amount of money that should be spent on running different companies well.
