Icahn Stock Tweetpump Halflife Down To Just Five Minutes
Following yesterday's ugly AAPL results (broken down here) we had only one question this morning:
What time is the Icahn tweetstormnado
— zerohedge (@zerohedge) January 28, 2014
Moments ago we got the answer: just after 11:04 am Eastern.
Just bought $500 mln more $AAPL shares. My buying seems to be going neck-and-neck with Apple's buyback program, but hope they win that race.
— Carl Icahn (@Carl_C_Icahn) January 28, 2014
No mention of AAPL being a "no-brainer" buy here, the way it was at $560. What's worse for the billionaire twitter is that the half life impact of his tweets is now just under 5 minutes.

Pump and Dump Master Icahn.
He's just tryin' to help, you know, the little guy.
He asked his 'sell team', "You guys ready over there?"
*sends tweet*
*stock goes marginally higher*
"SELL SELLL SELLL SELLLLL!!!!"
And it will considered legal. WTF?
Carl iCon tweets his pump & dump trash on his Samsung tablet while laughing @ the peeps believing in the Herbalife business model -that depends on guilt-tripping relatives and friends to buy snake oil from you.
Herbalife is similar to Girl Scout Cookies, except its products aren't for a charity, taste like shit, don't do shit, and are unfit for their intended purpose.
>>Herbalife
these kinds of scams are the cornerstone of the modern eCONomy afterall. who really needs most of the shit produced these days? This world needs to fundamentally rethink some basic concepts about what matters in life and how humans should get along.
I'm a registered libertarian for god's sake, and even I think this shit Icahn pulls, pretty much daily now, should be illegal.
Senile Motherfuckin spotted hyena's name should now be Carl I-canT!
I hope icahn's Viagra lasts longer than his stock pumps
One thing is for sure - Carl iConBecauseTheyLetMe Icahn has, at best, a few years left on earth.
And there's nothing pump & dump about that.
p.s. News Breaks

12:03 EDT HLF Herbalife drops 5% after NY Post says inquiry launched in Canada

Icahn is now in distress
His plan to pump Apple's a mess
Talking his book
Should make him a crook
Should this be illegal?...why yes!
Save buffett for later.
Why YES, dreams can come true.
Some guy on CNBS that writes the "Wellington" letter, just said his PT is in the $300's for AAPL.
I hope he's right. Just once while I'm on this earth, I'd like to see ICon take it from the rear.
With salt, sand & lemon juice.
That's because AAPL broke the trendline by 30$ an next stop is 480 @ the 200.
Carl, you're going to need another 500 after the close..
Where the hell are the SEC?
Watching midget porn?
Hey ... what of it? My midget dick needs love too.
Apple is dying. Anyone with a brain can see it. Android and Kindle are eating their base away at a time the consumer is dying.
The whole Icrap line needs to be shelved. The question is, do they have a visionary that will come up with shit that morons will camp out to have?
The problem is... Wait for it....
Steve Jobs is dead.
Tim Cook is a logistics guy. Back in 1998, when Apple was not making money, he was the kind of guy they needed, in tandem w/ Jobs.
On his own, at this stage of the company's 'lifecycle', he is quite worthless.
Jobs died on Oct. 2011. I am amazed it has held up this long.
But, but, but their next generation of products will be even thinner!
After Apple TV takes off (any day now), Tim Cook claims Apple will unveil a tablet in the form of a fruit roll up.
On a serious note, Apple is absolutely a seller of nothing more than commodities now, many of which the competition like Samsung, HTC, etc., makes a better product.
Challenge Accpeted!!
This tweet pump is going to be LEGEND -
Icahn = true vampire
Not a master but an amateur.
The problems of a senial billionaire.
@One And Only
True dat. Maybe he has his mind on his money and his money on his mind. Hope he has fun hugging his digital billions. If this whole Fed-induced quandry has made me realize anything, it's that the best things in life really are the simple things. Happiness and contentedness are a state of mind, not the value of your trading account.
Its down because he is dumping
Edit
Its a no brainer
LOL, lower now than before tweet....fuck off iCahn.
Icahn the greater fool? If it were only so! Hope he takes a bath on AAPL when it waterfalls later this week.
he probly tweets hes wife , honey my dick is up get undressed cause it only lasts 5 min!
What kind of serious investor pays attention to the tweets of Icahn, when every serious investor knows the tweets of Cramer are far more substantial.
No serious investors needed...... just brainless sheeple. Read comments on MW and others...... that's who he is sucking in.
iCUNT should be indicted for market manipulation. Plain and simple.
Iconn's middle name is boilerroom.
It's "Crusty," which refers to downstairs & upstairs.
He also goes by the middle name of Carl "the Big Phlegm" iCon in certain circles.
This a stupid tweet. Just shows he did not make his money due to his intelligence.
Ah, but he's the one wearing lace.
This is the big new app for 2014....Activist Investors.....hey because when you own some stock...you should be able to tell the company what to do....its the American Way...and you get on CNBC every month
Carl Ichan, sucker for Apple insiders. LOL
Fuck you Icahn.
halflife is HALF the time an element remains active, right? that looks like fulllife. on a long enough timeline..
Maybe Icahnt will Tweet this message one day:
"Help me. Apple stock has fallen and it won't go up..."
DARY!!!
Was the tweeting twit trying to tout targets to trick? http://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/30507317
Here's what we said about this last week: http://t.co/HvvpQZHOsU
'Hot Carl' ichan. Asshole and cronyist like the rest
And I'm glad he got hosed for it. How much you wanna bet this was an insider-info play and that Ichan got played hard?
..predictable. Now he has to buy on every dip. Join him or go against.
There is an old trader's saying (before HFT and in the days when trading was somewhat real) that only losers average losers.
I-CON should be in jail.
My guess is that Ichan got hosed. I'm sure he paid for information and someone delivered him false data, then when he went big-in expecting easy insider-info quick profit....well, we see how that worked out this past week.
An Ackman volley?
LOL
Must be fuckin nice to just whip out 500 mil and dump it on a stock that just tanked.
No Balls Carl is selling, not buying.
True...he could have meant he bought 500mil worth of put options.
If he is long, all he is doing is averaging down and will bail at the first whiff of being in the black.
POOR BASTARD !!! CHOKE ON YOUR AAPL SHARES !! LOL
Gold got kind of bitch slapped at 950-10am
Do what the local coins store does when gold gets bitch slapped. Put inventory in the vault and take the day off.
