The barbarians are at Time Warner's gate
Posted by Dominic Basulto
Famed corporate raider Carl Icahn - the leader of the barbarian investor hordes clamoring for the break-up of Time Warner - has secured a meeting this week with CEO Dick Parsons. No word yet on whether the meeting will occur at a neutral site, or whether it will occur high up in Time Warner's Columbus Circle stronghold. According to the Post, Icahn is out to "rattle the cages at Time Warner" -- but Wall Street thus far is not yet convinced that Icahn has the secret to unlocking value at Time Warner. After all, shares of the company are only up 6% in the past 10 days or so.
