Halliburton has a market cap of about $30B and at least a dozen mutual funds own 10 million or more shares. Soros could probably get one seat on the board of directors if he wanted it.

also, my family owns a bit (less than 1000 shares) of stock in Halliburton as well.

#6 Halliburton's financials state they have just shy of 1 billion shares of stock. Soros is going to have to pony up a lot more $$$ before he gets into that boardroom.

#7 How many seats on the Halliburton board can be controlled with 1.9 million shares?

With a billion shares issued and outstanding, Soros now owns a whopping 1.9% of the outstanding shares. Unless Halliburton has cumulative voting and a really big board of directors, so that Soros would have a larger multiple of 1.9%, I'll bet he can't get even one seat.

#8 He can, however, stand outside and wring all the hide off his hands.

#11 Don't worry, Georgie. As you will find out, Soylent Green is only made of poor people.

#12 He's up to something

Making a scene/statement at the shareholders' meeting, I would guess.

Correct (pardon my math error), which puts any hope of getting a seat on the board another order of magnitude out of his reach.

#15 he could just be cashing in on the deflation in the stock caused by his ranting and other propaganda. one could only hope there was an alternative universe where he could be accused of price manipulation through the use of his 527s
