H HurricaneUS Feb 28, 2013 #243 Quote from atticus: And a lousy 7% move on this news? You can't polish a turd. More... volume was lousy also. Of course, now that Icahn has his goons on the board Ackman better pray that herballife doesn't institute an aggressive share buyback program

S SteveNYC Mar 2, 2013 #244 Icahn is acting like a revenge trader. If HLF is a Ponzi scheme á la Madoff, why does he want to own so much of it so badly. The SEC and the FTC should investigate and get to the bottom of this company.

Can't sustain rallies. Institutions are probably unloading into the rallies.

I think they said Fidelity is the largest long holder More... That investor should start exiting b/c the stock is no longer stable.

S SteveNYC Mar 2, 2013 #247 Quote from hard kore: Carl Icahn filed a 13D disclosing a ~13% synthetic stake in Herbalife. There are three possible reasons that Carl Icahn might want to own half a billion dollars worth of Herbalife stock: 1) as a value investment in a company with strong cash flows and a beaten-up stock price. 2) as a toehold in preparation for launching a tender offer to take the company private. 3) to fuck with Bill Ackman. forget the first 2 reasons and keep the third. More... He probably wants to make a quick buck. Doubt he cares about HLF.
