“Carl Icahn’s concern that U.S. stocks are vulnerable to losses is at odds with his optimism about Apple Inc., the company most responsible for their climb during the past six years,” David Wilson reports for Bloomberg.
“‘The market is extremely overheated,’ Icahn wrote in a Twitter post yesterday,” Wilson reports. “A follow-up tweet from the billionaire investor referred to 2007, when a bull market for stocks began giving way to the biggest plunge in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index since the Great Depression.”
“Icahn posted on Twitter that Apple represents the ‘same opportunity’ that Netflix did several years ago,” Wilson reports. “He estimated in May that the shares were worth $240 each. That’s 87 percent more than yesterday’s closing price.”

How thoughtful of carl to tell the whole world what a great investment opportunity Apple is! I wonder if he will tell everyone right before he decides to divest and take the profits too..
Actually, I think Icahn did tout Netflix as s bargain a long while back. He just wisely (IMO) took profits. He still feels AAPL is undervalued- at least for now!
If everyone sold everything else, and reinvested in Apple instead, I’d be OK with that.
Regardless of Apple’s success or market value, if Ichan is correct, a large correction in the Stock Market will adversely affect all stocks.
