Carl Icahn On Bill Ackman Pulling Out Of His Position In Herbalife, President Donald Trump | CNBC

[@cameronalexander7041]

Real fans will have laughed when Icahn said 'good to talk to you scott' only half a decade on from "I'll never do a goddam interview with you again that's for sure" loool

[@axel7114]

yea! not those fake-ass fans!

[@calabiyau9269]

"i think herbalife is a great company makes a great product"...lol, ok icahn.

[@anthonysummit3098]

i am still bearish but Bill pulling out might be the last straw which may make all other short sellers covering their position.

[@gabrielmelaku829]

He still holds shares, he knows the company is garbage. His game is bigger than CNBC

[@ali-rezamobaraki4422]

I wonder what graham would say about this

[@carloscabrera5311]

Gabriel Melaku or so he thinks. Check out Herbascam sales of the product every quarter. Going down like a fighter jet after the FTC put the rules in 2016. HerbaScam distributed the rules to its people in May 2017. They're just starting to work. The process of herbalife going down just started. It's too slow though, hence bill pulling out.

[@ali-rezamobaraki4422]

carlos cabrera it amazes me how long the market can inaccurately price a company’s value.

[@aharonaryeh4049]

If only Herbalife’s management team/board implemented their talents into building a morally correct company, not some scheme which preys on financially unsophisticated individuals.🤦‍♂️

[@rubendeaz]

If only...

[@jedward3250]

Carl was a Trump adviser who was lucky enough to sell his steel stocks. Just days before Trump discloses the huge steel tariffs. It sure does look suspicious.

[@bobleroy1924]

Jed ward guilty insider trading with trump

[@bryan-9742]

It’s sad Carl sold out his principals by going long here. Lost all respect for this guy on this trade

[@billding8627]

It's a great company with a great future, code for 'get out'

[@_example]

I can't find anywhere in Herbalife stock history where the stock was trading at $92 a share. Why?

[@amayaalvarez7266]

2018 stock split

[@pinhound5643]

Way to ruin your entire legacy. Shame on Carl Icahn!

[@ST-fk3jz]

Carl icahn gives a shoutout to seeking alpha lol

[@mezzaasie7159]

i didnt hear that, what's the time stamp?

[@pricetagcitrus]

Why is that funny?

[@crispinsday]

now we know what he reads

[@ZidaneSteiner]

promoting a pyramid scheme?

[@Michael-mh6kg]

Entrepreneurs... When is entrepreneurship selling powder and shakes ?

[@businessempire3510]

There are alot of Entrepreneurs in the protein shakes powder market lol

[@hedgeowlinvest7902]

Still a scam.

[@OakhillSailor]

CNBC is like a reality show now

[@ehr1188]

Great British accent!!! lol 19:09

[@dawnglianapachuau6433]

😂😂

[@nohopeequalsnofear3242]

Herbalife is a total con. A horrible company... why does he own 25% of a garbage pile of a firm. Carl single handily supported the stock price.

[@caulijutsu1575]

Well it just shows that Icahn is a scammer. Bill might have lost but he’s earn a lot of respect from people on main street who have seen with their own eyes Herbalife destroying people’s lives. This will pay “social” dividends for Bill long term

[@Bibi-vn1jw]

I am shocked...I.bought those products and believed in it but couldn't afford it....products seems great....What a rip off....

[@streetrider2487]

when was HLF ever 90usd??? on google, in the alst 5 years, the hgihest was 60...

[@electrosquid8325]

There was a stock split

[@mralgo3836]

By this logic he must love the idea of UBER, maybe when Uber goes public he will do the same with them?

[@crispinsday]

bill congratulates carl? wtf no way. "My, Carl! Your strategies are so great!"

[@nohopeequalsnofear3242]

I like carl, but on this, he is wrong.... just say the trueth. He hates bill, he had to bet against him. If ackman said he was going long the dollar, carl would short the dollar.

[@neutropiquesetdietetique731]

insider info on stoctsplit put this smunck in jeal!

[@georgesotiriou7051]

19:08 Spot-on imitation of Disraeli.

[@riverland0072]

This company gave us Jim Rohn and that's it

[@mariecampbelldawson8562]

To Much Speculation ... Thanks .... Gracias

[@markgorski1]

Really getting tired of CNBC.

[@LavNglam]

So when will there be an American Greed episode about all these crooks?

[@learnzz9255]

Seeking alpha

[@dogestranding5047]

Learnzz Delivering Alpha is better

[@TheSmartLawyer]

Scam. 100% scam.

[@harleymartin689]

Fantastic !!! No roads: No cars: No auto Industry: No employment !!! Being capitalist he is a fool just another greedy gluten !!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😈😈😈😈🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😯😯😯😯😯📚😯

[@nohopeequalsnofear3242]

Carl, interest rate is going to zero. Bitcoin is going to zero. Herbalife is going to zero.

[@ZenTradeGame]

No Hope Equals no fear are you “Betting on Zero” ?

[@Jam-jt3gy]

Good to have a pro American president for a change.

[@livefreeordie7598]

LOL, pro big spending more like it. You got an unfunded tax cut. The key word is unfunded. It will come out of one side of the enconomy and go into the other. We all know where it went, mostly stock buyback. Now where it came out is going to be the theme for the downturn you are going to have

[@gatsbylight4766]

LOL, pro 'take-money-from-social security-medicare-medicaid-in-order-to-give-tax-cuts-to-millionaires/billionaires' more like it. You got an unfunded tax cut, on top of a $20.7 *TRILLION* dollar national debt. Trump, as he says, "will gain nothing from the tax cuts"? Nah.... in fact Trump now gains $15 MILLION per year from his own tax cuts. I guess I wouldn't need to accept a $400K salary either if I'm gaining $15 million on the back-end.

[@Christopherjoe]

Although I agree with the fist two replies, they have very similar wording and seem to have been written by the same person with different names. If you're going to use bots at least do it right. That said, they're (both?) right. He's pro profit at the expense of Americans. A lot of his deregulations helped guys like this snake Icahn instead of the majority. It seems Trump also tipped his friend Icahn off so he could sell his $30 million in steel shares right before Trump announced steel tariffs. Icahn hadn't done anything with steel for over 3 years.

[@gatsbylight4766]

Although I agree with chris' third reply, this one will have very similar wording and will seem to have been written by chris with a different name. AHHHH hahaha. No, not a bot ... was merely being .... "literary". But if a bot could say that Trump is simple-minded, myopic, monolithic, and lacks understanding of complex issues - then 'ok', call be a bot..... or you can just call me "Bo" for short.

[@Christopherjoe]

Gatsby Light haha ok I take it back Bo. If you were a bot then I guess I think like one too

[@BrijanbMentalIron]

Icahn is distancing himself from trump. He knows indictments could be coming his way if he keeps associating with Trump

[@hikingdruid]

Herbalife has high quality products and great, caring folks who care and coach!!! I love that company!!!

[@thomashooper9148]

hikingdruid , oh please! It’s overpriced garbage, but if that was all it would be fine.... their business model is designed around conning people into trying to sell their crappy products!
