4.4 out of 5 stars from 48 ratings
  • Content: 5/5. Sound quality: 0/1.

    Buy a professional microphone and some noise deadening stuff for your echoey room, please! Often the guest’s audio is far superior to the interviewer. Otherwise — fantastic podcast. Just hard to listen to. Often will begin episodes then end them after a moment because the are so hard to listen to.

Activist Investing Today: Cleary’s Alsheimer Talks Activism Defense
Q: What do you think about the white squire defense idea?
This idea that these situations are somehow social rather than commercial in nature is wrong; any serious institutional investor committing significant capital expects a return on that money.

I will advise public companies and their management teams and boards on activist preparedness, defense, everything from avoiding becoming an activist target to full-blown proxy fight.
