  • Carl Icahn moving hedge fund to Miami, whether his workers like it or not

    From nypost.com

    Billionaire investor Carl Icahn is moving to Miami next year — and his employees who don’t like it will be let go without any severance, The Post has learned. Icahn quietly informed the staff of his publicly traded Icahn Enterprises that he’ll be shuttering its offices in New York City and White Plains on March 31, and immediately re-opening in Florida’s Magic City the next day. “My employees have always been very important to the company, so I’d like to invite you all to join me in Miami,” he wrote in a May 17 letter obtained by The Post. To sweeten the deal, Icahn promised that everyone who makes the ... (full story)

Not sure that is a good thing/sign.. You know what some say about Florida... "... waiting room"...
hope he stick around for quite some time.. I like his reasoning, also his path from medicine to fin markets was impressive, with army in between... Also some don't know that Gekko was partly based on him... a great deal basically.. specially with his "hate" towards incompetent managers... in his words.. Check his youtube clips about how firing manager(s) made a lot of positive changes... Similar to what Gekko was saying...

In NY City they still think west of Hudson River is filled with Hostiles. Just like in Europe were for many the World is still flat. A person or country traveling will fall off the edge. When running a Business and living in a community if that community does not want to do Business then a Business or Country can do Business elsewhere. There are people living and working West of the Hudson and South of the Hudson. As for Europe the World is proved not to be Flat and there is plenty of Life to encounter in other places.
Heh, do not want for some to take it the wrong way but... I just love that at least something is they way it used to be Some constant in this fast changing world Love NYC man BTW I still think they do much trading even with the ones they might "despise"... which I think is one of the beauties.. at least everyone knows what they want or talking about.. Money... You would be surprised how hard it is in some other parts of the world.. when you do not even know what they want... they seem/say they want to money but in reality they want ALSO 100+ different things and maybe not money at all... In the Street you at least can get anything ("almost"), regardless of love/hate/liking even ego... It is not unussual in some part of the World when both parties prefer none to get profit just for the other side to not get some... If you can believe it... I am sure (hope) that in NYC they wouldn't mind if someone gets a million, if they get, billions? Seems to be stupid but deals like this DO fail... in some part of the world... Many deals gets stopped because of this nonsense... Yes, in EU too!

Not an expert but I think things you are referring to are more about private life, socialising... But the capital does move when there is bigger profit, regardless of everything else?

I just do not believe Icahn moved to Miami because of the better business opportunities.. or tax reasons... I believe he made the decision mainly because of him being 83! and want to "relax" a little... Tired of (the) City life etc...

And also... I believe and seen... many examples about this everywhere.. People think that east/west/north/south of somewhere is filled with Hostiles... The difference with NYC... in my observation.. is that in NYC they seem to be somewhat open/proud of their stance We have this all over the world... when across the road is regarded "hell"... while the other side of it is "heaven"... Not to mention blocks, cities... Very common thing, just maybe much more amplified in so dense city as NYC... Money does amplify it heavy also And you must admit some places just have different "energy" Even in my small country, we all know there are many differences but hide it for the most part It is public "known"... Why that is so... is still somewhat mystery, but seem to be so
