If you call plunking down money in companies that can go bankrupt in the next few days -"investing"- I hear.
It's called speculating.

moving this here. can anyone explain what deferred tax assets could have to do with the deal?

Responding to speculation in the card industry that Citigroup gave too much to Costco in negotiations earlier, Corbat said the deal is "without a doubt accretive" to shareholders and would be even if Citigroup did not have deferred tax assets it can use to shelter income from taxes.

Citi has $50B or so of deferred tax losses (which I think start to expire soon.)

So that puts then at a 35% (or whatever their effective tax rate is) advantage over Amex or anyone else.

Therefore they can drop their interchange fees so low that Amex would be losing money after taxes if they would give Costco the same rate. (Or at least it wouldn't be worthwhile.)

They changed the law around two years ago, not sure if Citis money gets grandfathered in or not.

I've been debating that all day but I still think it has room to go higher when the Model X starts deliveries so I think i'll wait a bit

To the end of his con

When fanboys are in for a shock

i dont recall MSFT having $178 Billion cash on hand ! yes you can say that again BILLION spelled with a B.
i dont recall MSFT generating $18 B profit in one quarter.
i dont recall MSFT having costumer camping out 24hours outside the store to grab the newest phones or gadgets.
this list can go on and on.

Apple is not just a technology company selling electronics and software.
im not here to pump the company but this is one of those stocks that people do feel comfortable putting all eggs in one basket.

what im saying, $178 Billion doesnt evaporate overnight.
 Icahn as an insider knows more then us, if he feels comfortable giving a $200+ Target Price im comfortable with that too. i will take $175 any day :-)


"VC Jason Calcanis predicts Apple will buy Tesla within 18 months, citing (among other things) Tesla's head-start in EV development, touchscreen UI investments, and plans for a battery gigafactory that could also benefit other Apple products. Elon Musk reportedly met with Apple M&A execs back in 2013." quote from today in Seeking Alpha

Just Saying :

 TSLA market value is $25.50 Billion

If I Icahn sells, the stock will take a more-than-a-short-term hit, it's a no brainer! (no pun intended).
If a loving father slaps his son on national TV, you know that son screwed up, big time.
I hope and pray that sell off wasn't iChan, I'm seriously considering taking a short position a day or two before his Q2 positions are publicized.
