- yesiamyourdad 13y agoI'm old enough that I still associate Carl Icahn with the phrase "Corporate Raider" that was popular during the 1990s. He's done a good job rehabilitating his reputation. Buffet would tend to buy a company that he can get a return on investment on. It's not to say he never sells companies, but he definitely tends to buy & hold. Whether or not a company is poorly run, as an employee I'd rather be bought by Buffet than Icahn. Buffet is in it for the long run.
