Title: Carl Icahn unloaded millions in steel-related stock days before Trump tariff
Post by: ABX on March 02, 2018, 09:31:59 pm
Interesting timing. I wonder how he found out ahead of time?

$31.1 million is not a big deal for Icahn and the stock price hasn't dropped by much. This is a nadaburger, IMO.

If you allude to Mueller then it should be said that he is special counsel and not special prosecutor.

LOL...It's fallen by 10% just since Trump's announcement.

He dumped this at $32.47 to $34.31, and it's now at $26.93.

It might be an innocent move, but don't pretend a few day change of 10% is nothing or that he didn't get out nicely before Donnie slumped the manufacturing sector.

And.... apparently.... insider trading is a nadaburger to the Swamp Dwellers.  Illegal for anyone else, of course... but the DC gators are "special creatures" dontcha know.
