Excerpt from Nightly Business Report -- "In general, I would say that most of the activism that’s out there that goes beyond the monitoring of the CEO to make sure that they’re not engaging in kind of self-interested behavior tends to be value-destroying, because for the most part, there’s no way that those activist investors have got better information about how to run the company than the CEO does. If they really have better information, then the board should be firing the CEO and bringing in somebody new."
