Icahn's a guy who enjoys his life. He sleeps late (2-3 AM), wakes up late (9-10 AM), married his beautiful secretary, drinks alcohol, parties - done well in his career, AND has lived a long life. Seeing him, it's possible to have it all.

OK I will buy a few shares of General Electric and then fire the management.

[maqboolfida]

Owning so many companies ...you are the index

[ephapax]

Yeah, I followed his play into Hertz in the last few months and lost the most I’ve ever lost on the stock market. He’s still a legend but lesson learned. You have to do your own due diligence, .

Correction: Buy Assets that *are Undervalued*

"I think we're walking into a mine field with the FED." Well said.

[coloradonativeguide]

I have that exact same tie that Icahn has on..I bought it for a job at a grocery store when I was 15...

Today the rules have changed :
#1 Buy whatever stock or index you want
#2 Wait for the FED to prop up the market and buy failed companies
#3 Forget everything else, don't waste time with analysis and never ever use the word "fundamentals" again
#4 Go to the beach
#5 Watch your wealth grow.

This is very well-stated. We are a lazy country overall and including myself in that statement - we all MUST try to start doing more - stare small dream big!

I guess, hertz is a name that comes to mind.

Then sell them after bankruptcy declaration.

I was a management consultant for 30 years working at F500 companies and what he is saying about management is dead right.

[ugurerden]

My best strategy to short your stocks until you give up them. When you sold, it is the buy time for me.

[Jonalexher]

So should we be buying Southwest and Delta right now? I don't see how in the long term you wouldn't get nice returns. If we go back to normal pre-corona lifestyle in 2 years (which is a generous timeline), why would Delta still be around $25?

Have to give credit to Andrew Ross Sorkin - the interviewer - held back very well.

Same when buying a car, get the least popular model and keep it for some years.

Clarification: Buy Assets that are Undervalued

[AntiBiotcz]

Enterprise holdings dominates the market. Hertz was flash and catch ups. Hertz bought cars cheap from manufacturing firms, their “assets” devalued immediately following their use

[BDanielsOfficial]

Buy assets that nobody wants? Bad move. Look at how much of his portfolio he put in Hertz

[ntnrocket]

'Buy what no one wants, " but then he goes on to say you have to fix what is wrong with it. You have to be a super baller to be able to buy that much of a stock that you have influence because of the amount you owe. And, of course, no one buys that much of a company in secret without it being illegal.
