In the case of Yahoo, for example, Icahn is sharing notes/stock/etc. with hedge fund manager and kindred spirit Jim Paulson. Here is a nice chart on the subject showing how Icahn, Nelson Peltz, and others have used Morgan Stanley to help them quietly build some recent positions. And why do they do this? It has a great deal to with antitrust rules and the FTC. As an activist investor -- someone doing anything other than buying and holding a stock -- you must disclose your position when you cross certain thresholds, and then ask permission from FTC to go further. That is slow, cumbersome, and noisy -- you can't exactly sneak up on those wascally wabbits -- so fund managers are very clever at playing hide the stock, at least temporarily. InfectiousGreed Friday, May 16, 2008Why Women Almost Always Do Better in Business Than Men The Washington Post has a great article today that explores the reasons why empowering women eliminates the cycle of poverty, particularly in post-conflict Rwanda. It’s hard to imagine the lives Rwandan women have lead, hard to relate to a circumstance where you have no rights, no standing, and no physical power to protect yourself. So [...] Businesspundit.com Friday, May 16, 2008Yahoo-Schmahoo: Google Takes Traffic Title One of the main reasons Yahoo is celebrated, to the extent that it is (and celebrated is way too strong a word here), is because it leads this part of the solar system in web traffic. Or at least it did. because, according to April comScore (oh how I wish that company had coherent capitalization) Google now leads yahoo in total visitors. The painful figures follow. Remind me, again, why there are people supporting the current management team?

When you have a page that contains a function to be performed against a page that has a potentially large amount of content, please include the function buttons at the top AND the bottom of the page.

He's shown up in disguise, even though his name is printed in the conference pamphlet. The rest of the panel consists of one online humorist, one bubbly blonde vlogger, one ACLU representative, and one 80s-coiffed lady who achieved online fame for making dance videos in kitschy sequined sweaters. Amongst this bunch, I'm finding the guy wearing a disguise to be almost sage, which leaves me wondering: what kind of conference is this?
read more Fastcompany Friday, May 16, 2008Housing Starts Plunge Up and Down. More at 11. I love when you get two contradictory headlines about the same piece of news. Case in point, here is my friend Barry on the latest housing starts data, following by a WSJ headline on the same nugget: With housing starts apparently plunging up and down in the space of an hour -- the two stories were published 45 minutes apart -- you can see why this market is so tough to trade. Marginally more seriously, Barry is talking about year-over-year comparisons, of course, while the WSJ is talking about a consecutive month improvement. I hate agreeing with Barry, but I am generally more interested in the y-o-y data. That said, last year there was no April housing starts bump, but this year there was one. Probably meaningless, but there you are. InfectiousGreed Friday, May 16, 2008 1 2 Archived "business - Top Stories" opinions:
