What make MOT and YHOO even more attractive, though, is that they’re both incredibly cheap right now. So much so, Cramer said, “the opportunity to get into both of them hasn’t looked this good for a long while.”
Why trust Carl Icahn? Because he has a proven track record of success. Just look at Kerr McGee [KMD
