Critics: You CAN'T do the same to an American corporation
Hindenburg: ICAHN

I do love that the Short Selling company named themselves Hindenburg. The need a competitor called Titanic.

Consistent dividend returns of 15% isn't just high, it's *suspiciously* high

[gregtomamichel]

A lot of Hindenbergs points seem pretty simple, and based on publicly available information. It makes you wonder why no one else has raised these red flags on Icahn.

[David.Marquez]

These Hindenburg reports are always incredibly entertaining.

[EamonCoyle]

Love that you get by just by knowing your stuff Richard, no decoration or tricks for clicks, keep doing it !! You and Patrick Boyle be my faves by far

Fun fact: Carl Ichan engaged in a lengthy and vicious spat with another investor named Ron Perelman over ownership of Marvel Studios in the late 1990's, which eventually led to Marvel being bought out from under both of them by Isaac Perlmutter, who is the man who sold Marvel to Disney and helped kickstart the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Carl Ichan is also the guy who's picture shows up when you type in the words "corporate raider" into Google and was at one point seriously considered to be Trump's Secretary of Treasury.

Stuff like this makes me realize how impactful some companies are despite not being well known

[Martin-qbmw]

I dont think you should stop covering short selling reports. They are usually very interesting.

[MyRationalHypothesis]

1:48 "I don't even want to continue covering short reports from Hindenburg". You can pinpoint the exact moment my heart breaks in two

[alex]

Hindenburg calling something “inflated” is never not funny.
Icahn deserves every attack.

Richard I need you to know that whether you know it or not I direct all of my MMA students to your channel, understanding money is a CRITICAL skill for men, and it can make or break their lives...All that to say thank you, and my students can not afford to pay as all of them are poor, but we will watch and learn from your future videos...That is a very long way of saying thank you...

I feel like you covering short seller reports is both entertaining and more importantly, informative. Them being covered by people who understand finance not only helps keep them honest but helps limit wider panic, which can be more damaging than the actual problem in the world of finance.

I'm enjoying these reports, so don't feel like you have to stop doing them unless you're really unhappy continuing. They're super informative and I appreciate having somewhere to go that actually covers this stuff in a neutral, unbiased way. It's super rare for a YouTube channel to explain an event or company without hysterically trying to get me to buy, sell, and/or short its stocks.

One year later update for those curious (8 days ago as of my posting) SEC followed up, the company got charged 1.5 million, and carl .5 million to settle SEC charges. The stock of the company fell from ~50 USD prior to the report to ~20 USD and is now around 15 USD and falling because they just annouced a plan to sell 400 million more shares to raise capital.

[WalterMangandid]

Richard, I think we, your followers, also learn a lot from these short selling reports. So I think you should continue to cover them.

You know, companies like Hindenburg actually give me hope in the market's ability to self correct over time.

[samuel.andermatt]

The disclaimer is still: "Richard does not have a position in any Adani companies.", probably a similar disclaimer about Icahn's enterprises should be added.

[BodybuildingNews]

Keep doing the Hindenburg stuff as well, it's good and informative content.
