You get the chance to change one company
So I've been seeing a lot of fantasy sports talk like who would win, all-time Bulls or all-time Lakers (Lakers would of course) or what if the 1996 NBA draft was redrafted (Kobe would be the first pick, duh). That plus all the news on activist investing like Bill Ackman's $5.5 billion stake in Mondelez or Dan Loeb's defense of activist investing (see my last blog post) got me thinking of my own hypothetical: what if you got the chance to purchase an influential stake in only one company in the past but with one catch...you must be an activist investor and attempt to enact at least one major change within that company.
Which company would you choose and what changes would you make? Would you be hostile or be more friendly? Feel free to post sample letters to the public, hypothetical conversations with management, or a speech you would deliver to shareholders.
Maybe you would convince Apple to keep Steve Jobs in 1985? Or perhaps force Berkshire Hathaway to fund the cloning of Warren Buffett? Have fun with this and post below.
