Icahn Reveals Latest "No Brainer" Idea: Urges AIG To Split, Sees 66% Share Upside To $100
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/28/2015 08:17 -0500It has been a while since Icahn, who is still looking for a $200+ print on AAPL stock courtesy of corporate buybacks, issued a "no brainer" investment alert. He did that moments ago, when he revealed a "large position" in AIG, whom he is now urging to follow John Paulson's advise in order to hit a $100/share price, by doing two things: "Pursue tax free separations of both its life and mortgage insurance subsidiaries to create three independent public companies" and to "embark on a much needed cost control program to close the gap with peers."

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/21/2015 19:17 -0500The "very serious people" are starting to get nervous, because while most other "commodities" have seen their prices plummet in the biggest crash since Lehman, gold just went green for the year.

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/09/2015 21:14 -0500While record mainland deficits covered by the petroleum sector is nothing new in Norwegian budget history, on the contrary it is closer to the norm, the 2016 budget did raise some eyebrows.

"The Saudi Population Are Growing Restless": A Deep Look Inside The "Black Box" That Is Saudi Arabia
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/07/2015 14:27 -0500"The Saudi population, especially the younger people, are growing restless because they see what is happening in the world through social media of which they are among the highest users - that’s the only means they have to communicate. So the situation inside the country is also very fragile and the foreign policy conducted by the current regime is very perilous. It is only a matter of time because the Gulf States are ruled by oligarchies who maintain control through bribery and the sword. So this is a challenging time for the Gulf States despite all the public commentary suggesting they are immune to the uprisings."
