bmichaud Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000183755&play=1 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberty Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorpRaider Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I would buy that. I would buy the deluxe cheesy man-love edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valueorama Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Icahn doesnt need to be drunk to get started. All he needs is a stage and a mike. Just search on Youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpioncapital Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 He said an interesting thing - I usually go long the things others go short. I liked that :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkp007 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wellmont Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I caught the caroline's clips. Thanks! I would pay Jerry Seinfeld show rates to get a whole set of that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerbaron Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 How can Icahn know the council Ackman used for the Herbalife short? BeerBaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorpRaider Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
