Carl Icahn Blogs
Billionaire corporate curmudgeon Carl Icahn has started his very own blog called The Icahn Report. Icahn is best known for his money making strategy of buying up shares of a struggling company, forcing his way onto the board, and then demanding changes that suit him before he dumps his shares at a premium. Most recently he has been trying to salvage the Microsoft/Yahoo! implosion by threatening Yahoo! with all kinds of holy hell if they don’t sell.
His blog is certainly full of some good rants. Alternatively, if you’re interested in Carl in some of his funnier moments, Silicon Alley Insider has some videos of him telling humorous stories from his past days. They’re kind of long, but not bad for 72-year-old-corporate-raider-humor.
On the other hand, if you’re interested in Carl at his most terrifying, you can read here about how he made enormous sums of money by shredding TWA into tiny bits and then toying with the floundering remnants of the airline for nearly another decade.
