Four Stocks Billionaire Carl<br />

Icahn Thinks Can Double …<br />

At Least!<br />

Below are four stocks, plucked straight from the portfolio of billionaire investor<br />

Carl Icahn. Not only can you own them too, but in some cases, you can buy them<br />

cheaper than the great Icahn.<br />

Stock #1: Apple (AAPL)<br />

This is no secret. Over the past couple of years, Icahn has famously and very<br />

publicly commented on his stake in Apple and his view on how Apple can unlock<br />

more shareholder value in the stock. And it’s worked, to the tune of more than a<br />

double in the stock price. Still, Icahn issued a research report this year stating that<br />

Apple shares are worth $240, if Apple continues to use its huge hoard of cash to<br />

buyback stock.<br />

That would be a 118% return from current levels. Icahn owns $6.6 billion worth of<br />

Apple stock, constituting 21% of his portfolio.<br />

Stock #2: Nuance (NUAN)<br />

Icahn owns more than $1 billion worth of Nuance – almost 20% of the company.<br />

When Icahn appointees (including his son) joined the board, he said he was<br />

optimistic that their impact (on the board) would have similar results to their Hain<br />

Celestial investment, a stock that quadrupled over the three years they sat on the<br />

board.<br />
