Billionaire investor Carl Icahn is finally breaking his blog silence.
After going 138 days without a post, Icahn plans to share his thoughts on the decaying nature of corporate governance on his “Icahn Report” blog today.
“You can stop the clock,” Icahn told The Post, referring to the “Carl ‘I Can’t’ Blog’ Counter” on the business section of The Post Web site, which has been counting the number of days, hours, minutes and seconds since Icahn’s initial entry on Jan. 31.
Icahn’s new post should be a lot longer than that first one, which simply read, “Blog Coming Soon.”
The investor/instigator plans to address the lack of accountability on the part of corporate boards and the myth of shareholder democracy in his posting.
But Icahn does not plan to address what most of Wall Street probably wants: the breakdown of talks between Yahoo! and Microsoft, and the advertising deal between Google and Yahoo!.
On that topic Icahn has been essentially mum, saying only that the deal “might have some merit” and that he is continuing to “study the situation.”
