Doing this AOL deal is on the way, but not enough, to enhancing shareholder value at Time Warner, ... It proves my point that there is a great deal of unrealized value here. The best investment the company can make is in their own stock at this time.

In life and business, there are two cardinal sins, ... The first is to act precipitously without thought, and the second is to not act at all. Unfortunately the board of directors and top management of Times Warner already committed the first sin by merging with AOL, and we believe they are currently in the process of committing the second; now is not a time to move slowly and suffer the paralysis of inaction.
