To be honest this one of the poorer short reports I have read in a while.

The basis of the report is that Icahn overvalues his investments and is unsustainability supporting his dividend. The references to Jeffries and Motley Fool (quite a stretch) are a bit of a joke. It's hardly groundbreaking news that an Investment Bank would publish favourable research on stock X. It occurs everywhere.

It references some specifics marks on investments that appear unclear, however some IEP investments would be entrapped in liquidity related valuation issues making it a debate on what the true underlying NAV is, rather than fact. 

There may be a base case but the traditional short reports I have read (e.g LKE/NEA from Jcap) point out clear fraudulence and failing business models v this report that just says the NAV is > intrinsic value

Just my take.

 

Same, threw a few thousand at it after the down day and now up very nice. I call that a win, thanks Hindenburg!
