Carl Icahn told Larry Fink "Motorola lost $9 billion - you wouldn't vote for me when I said let's fix it, we came in, we saved the company" this is one of the most legendary 42-minute confrontations in Wall Street history "you are extremely important with your $4.8 trillion which is more than a lot of countries have, and you use it to protect these guys as long as they do what you want" "those letters are brilliant. they obfuscate the real issues. they're telling companies: we'll protect you if you go out and issue debt. that's great for BlackRock because the more debt out there, the more BlackRock makes" "I've always sold too early or too soon. I made all this money selling too early or too soon. you're never going to get the top" #business #motivation #successful #finance
