Mr. Icahn what an opportune time for men like yourself to make your imprints on American history. Contrary to many, history often chooses the individual...

I don't think you have gotten to this point in your life by not being a visionary and courageous while others are questioning their mere existence. These are very opportunistic times in history for men of integrity and legacy for service. I don't doubt your intentions but I do wonder how many so called business strategists have misunderstood your past business ventures and personal biography for personal gains. (Life of the Rich and Famous)

You definitely have your work cut out for you as you embark on reeducating the miseducated and misguided folding chair robber barons. They have all decided to come on selective/friendly television shows to defend their actions or lack of actions with very little accountability from the persons interviewing; which is understandable because most of them are just honored to have these lackluster corporate leaders on their show. Which does more damage to an already downtrodden position, individuals biased/uneducated toward subject matter. But I'm sure that sounds familiar, I have watched your personal frustrations mount while trying to talk over these testoterone analysts, news reporters, business reporter experts while trying to explain your mission of servitude. I believe they are totalling underminding your ultimate contribution to educating the individual investors. Which is what got us here in the first place; groups, organizations, universities, etc. capitalization on the weak not understanding the effects of trickle down non-economics.

I would envision an increase in hiring of telemarketers to get individual investors back into the market. What will happen to the market once the money is printed and citizens refuse to spend, invest, lend and or borrow? OOps, once you create the boogey man, it's hard to make him go away. How many sequels will we sell tickets? Thank you for allowing us to watch history in the making, I would suggest an Investors United, Investment Fund for grassroot investors with a certain earnings!? (45,000/100,000) WOW can you imagine the potential ownership of undermanaged companies?

That's the attention/difference maker!!!!

God Bless America!
