Great interview. All great investors make everything appear so simple and easy - Sanjeev, TWA and Eric have that ability - and Icahn has it in spades.

Anyone has a good book on Icahn to recommend? I've never been too interested in the man, but maybe if I knew more about what he's done I would be..

King Icahn is the only one I know of. It's not very up-to-date, but a decent read.

[CorpRaider]

I would buy that.  I would buy the deluxe cheesy man-love edition.

Icahn doesnt need to be drunk to get started. All he needs is a stage and a mike. Just search on Youtube.

[scorpioncapital]

He said an interesting thing - I usually go long the things others go short. I liked that :)

I love the old school vs new school, Icahn vs. Ackman battle.

 

I do think Ackman is acting a lot classier though. He still has the higher ground in my book since he's not publicly insulting Icahn.

[Guest wellmont]

ackman is the one who publicly ramped up their initial dispute and put icahn on the defensive. that was a mistake. let sleeping dogs lie.

wow.  I caught the caroline's clips.  Thanks!  I would pay Jerry Seinfeld show rates to get a whole set of that stuff.

How can Icahn know the council Ackman used for the Herbalife short?

Ackman put it out there, "I had sullcrom look at it."  Icahn was like, "I could buy you six times over.  I could break you mate. I could tender for the company just to burn your ass."

King Icahn is a good biography.  It's a bit dated as it was written in the mid 90's but gives a good story of his career and life to that point.
