Carl Icahn's 'All in the Family': Today's Chart of the Day

Activist investor Carl Icahn is joining Nelson Peltz, amassing a nine percent stake in Family Dollar -- today's Chart of the Day. The two activists have a combined double digit stake in Family Dollar, which has underperformed some of its bigger competitors. The company's board managed to get out of being bought by Peltz in 2011, but with the two activists' stakes outweighing the company's CEO, an LBO for FDO could become increasingly likely. Private equity investors have been increasingly active in the consumer space in 2014, and this could turn into one of 2014's biggest deals.
