To the extent that opportunities are now available to enhance value at AOL, which we believe there are, we implore management and the Board to move more decisively than they have in the past.
Doing this AOL deal is on the way, but not enough, to enhancing shareholder value at Time Warner, ... It proves my point that there is a great deal of unrealized value here. The best investment the company can make is in their own stock at this time.
not comment on whether I still have an interest in General Motors or whether I will buy or sell its shares.
We're happy that value for all shareholders is enhanced through this offer.
We're not about liquidating companies, but if you do that, why is that terrible? We're not blowing up the factories. The person who buys it should be able to make the asset more productive.
