there's carl icahn playbook.is doing both right now. one, he is under -- he is attacking the board, to say that they are underperforming. that is questionable. ebay has been doing quite well. and number two, he is advocating for a split off. as i said, activism 101. split off a business must say the market is not valuing it right and then cash in on a quick valuation. >> but is he wrong to be doing this? you sort of say, well, this is carl icahn, but look at his track record. look at the great things he has done on the activist front. should we roll our eyes? >> we should roll our eyes, but carl icahn is a genius. he has a way of making money with companies, by either pushing the them to sell themselves, or break up and restructure. and just because it is carl does not mean he does not have a point. these are two separate businesses. they have been brought together for a while. the board stuff is just a distraction. carl icahn is trying to get these businesses to be separated and make a quick bucks. >> that is wh

>> yep, we got you, carl. >> there you go. >> walk me through what this means to golf. >> well, carl,d to connecticut and the tournament here. we've had a great eight years with travelers. and i think the main message today is with the ten-year commitment, it shows that the travelers and the business community has a strong and very positive view of the future of the game, the future of our sport and that says a lot in the marketplace. so, from that standpoint it's very positive. and to continue this partnership with a sponsor that's very involved in the tournament really pushes the envelope to make it as good as it can be is also great. so, we are very, very pleased this morning. >> carl, golf is unique. professional golf is unique in that it's only the professional sport where 100% of the proceeds go to charity. nobody else does that. over the seven years we've been involved here we've contributed over $7 million to local charities. principle beneficiary being hole in the wall camp for sick kids and it supported hundreds of charities along the way. good for golf. good for the communi

carl is involved. he is pushing to see this happen.t of that means getting the board of directors obviously to be ok with that and right now they aren't. as john donohoe told me, the c.e.o. of ebay on "street smart" just last week, they looked at this. they're not planning to do this. they think that ebay and paypal are better off together. back to what carl had to say today -- >> let's listen to -- >> let's listen to the conflict of interest that he sees for the board. >> i have been through a lot of these through the last 30, 40 years, i said in the letter, i mean it, i have never seen one as blatant as this. you know, we have seen a lot of them, but i mean it's almost, if it weren't sad, it would be funny. >> so he is saying he has seen a lot of them, he hasn't seen anything quite as bad as this. when i said he was fired up, i wasn't kidding. take a listen to what he had to say the company really said there isn't a conflict of interest when it comes to scott cook being on the board. >> he has $1 billion and he founded it. they say i

[laughter] this is great material as a pre-interview carl icahn has a reputation to buy the stocks and then blows out like he did with apple but with ebay he really feels those running the company are running it into the ground. melissa: they always say that. they go long and loud. make a big splash. but this is his story every time. >> before we go along with carl icahn to trash the board members of ebay he has accused them remember they have made major contributions to the american technology industry. every business has conflicts but do you market -- manage them correctly? they accused the board member when they were selling stipe it did later sell for a much bigger price i am not knocking him he plays a useful bold but be careful before ww trash them >> i actually like marco lot but what i like about carl is

kent, first to you and carl icahn, what do you think of what carl icahn is doing, his proposal for morebacks? why do you think it was rejected at today's meeting? >> thank you for having me, dave. as you probably know eagan jones recommended that shareholders reject the proposal by carl icahn. i think it was item number six on the agenda. david: right. >> and we did so, we did so because for the same reason that one must assume the shareholders do, we think that management's been doing an excellent job over the last year or so of returning capital to shareholders. they have done a responsible job. they're doing it carefully, and from our point of view they don't need to be micromanaged by a shareholder as to how much and exactly when they do it. david: okay, but anton, look at full-year chart if we can or at least a chart showing about the time at which carl icahn got involved. can we see that chart? we have a special chart which shows exactly when icahn bought into apple and you can see, right at that point is where the stock begins to climb. is that just coincidence? >> yeah. so i've

how many plates can carl spin at one time. they've been targeted and it's hard to argue that he's over extended on that front. >> no. i think he's got a lot more fire power. he wants to up the stake in ebay, he's got it. >> and apple, he kind of lost that battle. >> they become opportunistic. >> i should also say on hertz, he's gone away. they did an interesting job there of putting in a pill that sent the stock price up. ebay also got in front of him. >> we got a big morning for you as we said right here on "squawk on the street." tomorrower treshly secretary, david kos tin. take another look at these on the last week of february, a monday morning. we're back in a mund. let me talk to you about retirement. a 401(k) is the most sound way to go. let's talk asset allocation. sure. you seem knowledgeable, professional. i'm actually a dj.

that makes a lot of sense, carl. but when you look at the information we have now, as diana was just reporting, there's not much supply of homes on the market. and then on top of that we see mortgage rates are noctching up 4% for a 30-year. not bad but they anotching up. does this keep home buyers away? >> i don't think so. we said 2013 was the nirvana year for the housing market, 2014 might be nirvana squared. i think the rate of construction in the gdp accounts will double this year compared to what we saw last year. i think home price appreciation is going to continue. affordability while down a bit from where we were in the last couple of years which is no surprise given that mortgage rates are higher and housing a bit more expensive, affordability is still at record high levels going from 1971 when the data began all the way up to 2007, we are still higher now relative to that period. and even if we have a further back up in interest rates, let's say a 1% increase in mortgage rates this year, affordability will

is's talk about what carl proposing.t half of the business comes from paypal. >> we look at this every year. ebay and paypal can be most successful and we continue to believe the best way is together. ebay makes paypal stronger and makes paypal stronger by helping it grow faster. it provides more data and a strong financial provider. there is no question ebay and paypal goto question. i am a huge ebay user and paypal makes the whole process easier and more pleasant. not company, they could still cooperate just as closely as they do now. >> not integrated as closely as they are now. mobile payments. mobile is the most important platform shift arguably in the past decade. when mobile for started, no one would have downloaded the app. but 100 million people downloaded the ebay mobile app. allowed ebay to start what was initially 600 million of total mobile payment in 2010. billion last to 27 year. >> you see that 70% of the revenue 70% of paypal is a non-ebay platform and growing. paypal, it isat about 30% of the revenue, g
