Major success in visual media 2014: Carl Icahn

Carl Icahn is a major figure in how one should handle ones money this year.
Carl Icahn is a major owner of Take-Two Interactive, publisher of Grand Theft Auto V, which recieved $1 billion in revenue on opening day.
The most infamous move he made in 2013 was selling his significant shares of Netflix stock for $895 million PROFIT.
He has really made himself a marketing brand, purchasing significant growth stocks such as Netflix, which had a 495% profit.

Netflix's House of Cards has recieved a Webby Award for Kevin Spacey as well as awards for directing and cinematography for episode 1, as well as casting for the whole series. The first web streamed television show for Netflix has recieved 9 nominations from the Emmys.
The web show revival of Arrested Development has generated nominations as well.

With Icahn out though, one has to speculate that Netflix may be going into trading range instead of growth.
