Hi. Do you think Icahn is a good choice after the slump? I've been looking at them for a few years now and thinking that the dividend must have dropped and still nothing... my hand is twitching. Is there a problem I'm not seeing?

For me, there is a lot of, at best, "ambiguity" around this, so I would put my hands off and look elsewhere...

When I'm looking at a company for a long time and can't make up my mind, it's often better to just drop it and find an opportunity elsewhere where I'm confident.

What about the Hindenburg research, that didn't scare you? Or is there an update on the case? There was also a suggestion that they may have been committing a Ponzi scheme and taking money from new investors to pay dividends.

Well I don't know... I don't necessarily care if it just means a drop in price and therefore more dividends for me, right?

If you've been watching them for years this probably won't be news to you, but for others I'm giving info on shareholder dilution https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/IEP/icahn-enterprises/shares-outstanding

Well... but it hasn't affected the dividend in that time... that's why I'm asking
