Icahn buys "small" stake in HLF. Originally reported by NY Post a few days ago. But apparently WSJ has more weight when it comes to the market. Definitely one of those "short the pop" moves. Hombre has bad blood for Ackman. Payback time. Icahn reportedly buys stake in Herbalife Another news bite. Tag Team Takedown Icahn Joins Sharks in Cry for Ackman Blood Ackman is not known as a popular figure on Wall Street and some speculate that hedge funds are teaming up to take him down. The idea sounds slightly preposterous considering many of the people involved are extremely rational investors with keen business senses. The idea that they can be motivated by anything besides sound business decisions is contrary to what many believe is their nature. However, as last year's London Whale' story illustrates, normally analytic hedge funds managers can quickly turn into sharks when they smell blood in the water, and at the moment the seas are no doubt red with Ackman's. Icahn probably sees an opportunity to kill two bird with one stone â humble a competitor and make a fist full of cash.
Anyone see on CNBC the epic argument between Icahn and Ackman Insults were flying, floor traders hootering and hollering. I wonder if it will be on youtube.
Some reason, their embed code doesn't work on this site. "Beat up on these little jewish boys" :eek: CNBC: Icahn vs Ackman

Big volume, 2 million share spike at 12:45pm EST. Probably Icahn, all pissed off, buying up shares. . Revenge time!
Icahn is a neanderthal. What a brute! Both of them are Jewish, so I guess Icahn feels it's ok to spew racial taunts.
