Comments on: Storming the Lions Gate http://blogs.reuters.com/reuters-dealzone/2010/06/14/storming-the-lions-gate/ Behind the deals and deal-makers Sun, 19 May 2013 20:24:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: LizR http://blogs.reuters.com/reuters-dealzone/2010/06/14/storming-the-lions-gate/comment-page-1/#comment-351370 LizR Mon, 14 Jun 2010 17:28:27 +0000 http://blogs.reuters.com/reuters-dealzone/?p=20172#comment-351370 What is the matter with this guy. if we thought he had a clue how to run Lionsgate, then more of us might have tendered our holdings and he would not have been hammering our mailboxes for months trying to wear us down. Why does Mr. Icahn not buy some fishing gear and go relax somewhere for a change? There is more to life than trying to gain total control of the companies in which one makes investments. In how many companies, indeed in how many market sectors does Mr. Icahn fancy himself fit to operate as an executive? I fail to see that he has any particular expertise in the arenas in which Lionsgate plays, and I happen to approve the direction the company has taken of late. Apparently I am not alone, since Mr. Icahn's tender offer seems to have been met primarily by junk mail shredders.
