I don't think you can really equate "activist investors" with workaday people with IRAs.

Take a look at how much of a company's stock is owned by institutional investors. A lot of that money comes from people's pensions, 401Ks, IRAs, etc.

I'm not disputing that; what I am disputing is that such investors are basically the same as Carl Icahn.
