Inflation is far more harmful to individuals than a collapsing stock or property market because it directly affects people's cost of living, which they immediately feel. It is not surprising that the current market sentiment is extremely pessimistic. In today's economy, assistance is critical if we are to survive.

[jenniferpowell]

appreciate your approach to teaching.. To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough, we just need to hold onto our hopes and wait to see how things turn out because market movements are almost always unpredictable. In my portfolio, I'm noticing more red than green

[hermanramos]

Everyone's preaching doom, without any key data-trajectory on how to maneuver, it's obvious stocks are unstable but folks are still pulling off huge 6 figure profits from this same market y'all are warning us about, videos on such strategies to maneuver will really be helpful, thank you.

[arigutman]

Great to catch Icahn's insight and I am aligned with him 100%, I think there is more pain to come and the masses are looking too near term which will set them up for failure. Inverted yield curve is paramount to monitor and we could be in for more trouble over the next six to twelve months!

[strited]

My favorite episode yet. Packed with useful information, and just enough moderation to keep the show moving forward.

[thomasexum]

Thank you Carl for sharing your wisdom with us! I always enjoy listening to you, I always learn something new. 🙂

Legend . Very intelligent and articulate and his answers also spell out the major systemic issues with financializing environmental regulations without alternative s that have similar low cost capacity and the way that feeds into the woes of energy inflation via blown out crack spreads and the real reason the chorus of pivoters are vocal is to save their easy money over valued net worths.

[ravindertalwar]

TRUTH, TRANSPARENCY AND TOTAL COMMITMENT REALLY MATTERS A LOT.

[edschuh]

Really great questions asked there and Carl Icahn makes seem investing as if it was super easy, in hindsight

[chrislink]

What Icahn says at 23:30 is spot on. There cannot and will not be a "Fed Pivot" until inflation is noticeably coming down, and all this talk about such a pivot is very harmful and premature. Don't fight the fed, let them beat inflation, and invest accordingly once that beast has been tamed. Brilliant interview from a legendary investor, thank you.

[Ken-fekd]

he said "the second". That's GME

[chrisbluebird]

Very well articulated; I wish I had more time for trial and error, but I'll be 56 in November and I need ideas and advice on what investments to make to set myself up for retirement, especially with the looming inflation and recession; my goal is to have a portfolio of at least $500k at the age of 60.

[sbar]

I've been waiting to hear Carls opinion

[method]

he's pretty sharp for someone who is 86

[glengarbera]

I could listen to Carl all day long. Guys a genius

[Qletty]

Thank you for the honor of listening to Carl in the quiet of your chair. Something that adds comfort when communicating important topics for everyone.
But I disagree with Carl regarding the FED interest rate hike.
Yes, interest is needed to motivate people to invest.
But what we are doing is making the rich richer and the poor and middle class poorer.
That does not improve any economy.
That destroys the planet, because then it will happen, that the time will come when the recession will appear because of these actions and the products produced will lose all their value. And the energy and money that was paid to create each product will go to waste.
If we want people to consume what we produce, we cannot punish them because they consume.
We cannot continue like crocodiles, swallowing without chewing and regardless of the economic value in society.
Because when the richest do not consume, then the value of what is produced creates economic cancer, and self followed, stagnates society and chain affects the planet.

[davidderidder]

Our whole concept of succes and value is out of bounds and needs recalibration.

[jj-wzim]

Thank you Carl. Amazing points. Especially about stock buybacks.

[DK-vhgk]

What an absolute F***KING legend! So genuine and humble. Probably didn't take the V*X either!
