Anyone else been paying attention to this? The just of it is that Bill Ackman and Carl Icahn have some bad blood between them. Ackman publicly went short a Billion of so $'s worth of Herbalife (HLF) stock. The stock nosedived and Icahn decided to use the opportunity to battle Ackman. :rofl: Dan Loeb, another Billionaire is also on the long side of HLF.

Here's Ackman and Icahn getting into it on CNBC

As announced yesterday Icahn had a small position at the time and continued to accumulate since.

Here's another vid on Icahn if you'd like to know more about the guy

Icahn announced 13% ownership in the company yesterday and the shares skyrocketed After hours. They're up some 29% in pre market. ($49.33 as I type)

Chart of HLF's wild ride

Should be an interesting day.
