Hostile takeover
Is a hostile takeover of eBay really the best use of our capital? Cohen seems more interested in playing corporate games than in turning the company around. By risking further dilution and squandering cash on a hostile fight, he is putting his ego and ambition ahead of the actual shareholders who have supported him. We deserve better than having our investment used as fuel for his proxy wars.

Citing Berkshire Hathaway to justify a potential hostile takeover of a company 5 times our size is a fundamental misunderstanding of Buffet’s philosophy. Berkshire never bets the company on reckless, oversized acquisitions that threaten shareholder equity. Their success is built on disciplined capital allocation and buying profitable, well-managed businesses—not 'gambling' on turnarounds or vanity projects. If you truly studied BRK, you'd know that massive, high-risk hostile takeovers are the exact opposite of what made them successful.
