great story
 

Thanks for that. Sums up in a very funny story from a brilliant investor why the world is fucked financially. Nobody really knows what anybody does. lol.

Really interesting and great comments.

Like the story on the night watchman. a night watch working at a factory, one day the factory decided the night watch man needs a supervisor, then a committee to guide the supervisor, then budgets got tight. The committee told the supervisor to fire the night watchman.

That's a great story. I don't know too much about Icahn but I do recall when he bought a shit ton of Apple stock and was going to stir shit up at the company. He held on to a ton of shares for a while and got frustrated and sold the stock. Not soon after the stock went on a 4 year run which would have netted him 40 billion if he held.
