Tomas Chlebek Carl Icahn already invested a billion dollars in Apple in the last week - He invested 500 million in its shares last week, another $500 million today. Half a billion dollars was also withdrawn from his account due to apple shares at the beginning of the year. To announce his big investment, he chose the social network Twitter, as he did several times before. In total, Icahn holds Apple shares for more than $4 billion.
Just bought $500 million more $ AAPL shares. My buying seems to be going neck-and-neck with Apple's buyback program, but hope they win that race.

He went on to say in the report that his stock purchase appears to be on pace with Apple's stock buyback. However, he hopes that Apple will win this race.
Again, in practice, he shows his faith in the fact that Apple has a bright future. He is doing so despite his criticism of the fact that Apple holds nearly $160 billion in its accounts - according to Icahn, he should invest all of this in buying back his own shares, although he made a more modest proposal to other shareholders to immediately invest $50 billion for this purpose.
At the same time, his view seems unaffected by the announcement of financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, in response to which the value of Apple shares fell by $40. Results although they were a record, they were still not as high as expected, and the company's prospects for the next months did not excite Wall Street too much.
I don't understand how the shares of a company can fall when it has record turnover and sales. Just because of some "analyst" from wallstreet... It's all just an artificially created value.
I read an interesting comment on foreign servers that the analysts know absolutely nothing about the market, because if they did, they would have had their own business and become millionaires/billionaires a long time ago. Of course, nothing is black and white, but I'm also leaning towards that a bit.
Wallstreet is not about buying and selling, but about speculation and companies whose estimates are different from the speculator's, so they are wrong. Companies including Apple and Google will pay extra for this.
IMHO, Icahn is a "pretty SILLY". His purchases of Apple stock do not bode well. Dell(u/o) narrowly escaped him. With Cook appearing to lack the reins that Jobs had and being weak and soft on shareholders, and Icahn's purchases, we may see another Apple crisis similar to the previous one in the 90s. CI doesn't care how the company he's attached to turns out. He wants to maximize profits with the post-flood method.
