Can I have half a billion $'s?

It would depend on the size of the fund but I'd ask how they identify their targets. It's not tough to figure out how Icahn determines his targets because he targets companies that are well known and on the front page of not only business news but the general media (basically who didn't know Yahoo or Dell were weak) but I'd be interested in the smaller guys. And how much work, time and money (both in invested equity/debt and professional service fees-I'd imagine they must blow a ton of money on white shoe law firms alone on a deal) do they devote to a deal before they cut and run. What do they consider their failures and why-did they lose money on the investment, or just not make as much as they projected because they were unable to get the company to change.
