Icahn and Pickens Discussing Life and Markets

Published on

This week’s Pickens Podcast is a conversation with Carl Icahn. Carl and Boone were pioneers in the corporate restructuring and shareholder rights movement dating back to the 1980s.

Since he started Icahn & Co in 1968, Carl has been a leader in increasing the value of the companies he has been involved with and, at the same time, making certain the owners – the shareholders – have their voices heard in the boardrooms.

During the conversation, the two men discussed energy security, including the effect of Saudi oil exports on America’s production, Carl’s views on the markets and much more.
