During the summer of 2011, he loaded up on shares of WebMD (Nasdaq: WBMD), which I discussed in November. (He owns close to 10% of the company now, a stake worth about $156 million.) Icahn knew that this company possessed had a very strong web presence in one of its most lucrative niches: health care information. And he figured there were ample paths to unlock value when he bought shares last year. At first blush, Icahn looked brilliant, as shares of . . . → Read More: Carl Icahn’s Top Stock Idea Right Now

Personal Finance QuickTake: Carl Icahn
2008-03-12 22:21:00 Carl Icahn is a pretty interesting guy. Along with Henry Kravis of KKR, he was one of the most feared names in Industry. The shear mention that Carl Icahn was "on the phone to talk to you", would scare most CEOs into writing him a check to go away!60 Minutes had a great piece on him and how he makes his money, and as one of the Top 20 richest people on the planet, he does know a thing or two about how to make money. He might not make companies cower with just a call anymore, but he does know how to rattle his sabre.Icahn was one of a handful of Corporate Raiders that bought up companies with little or no cash, loaded the company with debt and would then spin then off or tear them apart. Think Gordon Gekko from the movie "Wall Street". Icahn's famous takeover of TWA in 1985 is the stuff of legends. But the Airline was stabilized and saved, at least for a time, but a lot of people were put out of work.He is now known more as a Board of Directors worst nightmare. In an era of huge CEO...

Jim Cramer Tries Piggybacking Carl Icahn Stocks, Fails
2007-10-30 07:27:00 On the October 12th edition of Mad Money, Jim Cramer interviewed Carl Icahn and congratulated him on the bid by software giant Oracle to acquire BEA Systems (BEAS), which Icahn had been working on for months. Cramer had been recommending BEAS consistently since the summer of 2006 on a takeover possibility. In the December 11, 2006 Lightning Round, Cramer again reiterated his recommendation on the stock stating, "It has obviously been hurt by the options ugly stick, but BEAS should not be punished. That is a legitimate software transaction platform that I think one day, if they don't get the stock up, will be purchased by Oracle (ORCL)." Again on September 18, Jim recommended BEA Systems (BEAS) on account of billionaire investor Carl Icahn's increasing share of the company, saying a buyout was imminent. Investors pocketed nearly a 40% gain in less than a month when Oracle (ORCL) announced a bid to buy the lesser competitor. (A chart of Cramer's BEAS recommendations is shown below)...
