    That's why I love Ichan. Ivy league education aside, he's still a street guy. An everyday, real guy you can talk to and make sense with. None of that pomposity and arrogance most folks in these circles have.

    39:25 "If you want to make a lot of money, TAKE RISKS. That's what a capitalistic system is all about - but don't get paid all this money for somebody who's managing money." (Nassim Taleb talks on this, about back-office people claiming credit as front-office work in society)

      Interesting Joe, I also had checked his own Icahn Enterprise performance and it has not outperformed well (along with other hedge fund stock price such as Greenlight and Pershing), but he kind of highlighted companies spending more on buybacks and dividends and it can't last overtime.
      About AIG, that's completely out of my circle of competence. Thanks though.

    7:42 can someone explain from an accounting or tax POV why depreciating the railcar assets for 5/6/7 years but keeping it for 40years is a tax incentive?

    • @peretzmex
      @peretzmex Před 3 lety

      There is a concept called Time Value of Money, so deducing your money earlier is the same as having more money.

    • @tbooth1000
      @tbooth1000 Před 3 lety +4

      You’re able to write off your investments immediately or at an accelerated rate vs GAAP depreciation schedules...in other words if you invested in capex your able to write it off for tax purposes immediately...but you have those assets producing cash flows for 20-40 years

    • @user-wv8qd8nx5k
      @user-wv8qd8nx5k Před 2 lety +1

      He has no taxes on every asset that is older than 5 years .so most of the assets are tax free .I wonder if the operation using the assets depreciated are also tax free . In which case they keep most of the money as new rails are fewer..I assume..😁

And when Luka hits 6 first quarter threes. It's no longer worry. Its sickening . You need to get out thr game if you say... "its.okay if it goes down because I know I'll buy more of them" thats why Daily Fantasy Spprts is the last true market on eartb.... until the African Stock Exchange comes out of a 15 year Trial run.
