Malone is one of the "Outsiders" in the now popular book and has a huge following in CBF. FWIW, iwas in LINTA in 2007, after having done some work on the corporate structure, but bailed during the financial crisis, about flat I think. LINTA went down and down to the low teens, i think and not many were looking at it then, which includes unfortunately myself.

I think this playbook could well repeat itself, because Malone leverages his companies quite a bit to juice returns and also uses a lot of non-GAAP metrics. Stocks like that often get adopted during bull markets and abandoned in beat markets or when credit get's tight, so patient investors may get a shot at buying these stocks cheap in the future.
