I would like to see IEP sue HINDENBURG "RESEARCH for damages.
Seems like the shorts should start covering vary soon. IEP has forward P/E 13.23 Cash/sh of 11.90 going forward earnings all look positive with low pps now Dividend pays 37.31% but I do expect he will cut that next quarter. IEP - https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=IEP&ty=c&ta=1&p=d
IEP has been oversold and should bounce back soon - IMO. They are scheduled to pay the $1.00 per share dividend on Sept. 25th
Their 3rd quarter earning around Oct 31 will be important but expected forecast is a positive .21, which should be good to keep dividend.
I feel we will hit the low today and great time to buy / add more for long term.
DISC067, I did not call Schwab as I realized I only held the new COOP in Schwab and TD Ameritrade.
I only had those listed below in my MS/E*TRADE account and they confirmed that even though those ESC were removed they are still recorded at their clearing firm DTC and if any distribution they would come into my account.

939ESC992 "P"

AZcowboy, I followed your advice to call broker in my case it is E*TRADE from Morgan Stanly to confirm ownership of our old cusip #'s as I listed below.
The issue for many of us is over this 16 year period one brokerage taking over another during our restructuring. In my case Morgan Stanley merged with ETRADE and today Etrade verified that only the cusip's were removed from our accounts, but those records remain in account at their clearing house at DTC - so if any payout the clearing firm DTC would put any cash or shares back into our accounts . Note: We also have Charles Schwab that just merged with TDAmeritrade and I plan to call them next.
939ESC968 "U"
939ESC992 "P"
9393ESC84 "K"
I feel all should saved the 02/11/2022 brokerage statement that shows those securities were removed for your records. That 02/11/2022 was date I believe all brokerage removed those cusip #'s as they showed no value at that time but are still recorded if any future payout.
Hi AZcowboy, Not sure why you keep requesting all to call your broker to " Make Totally Sure That THEY Know Who You Are"
Most of us had those U"s, P's K's documented in our account as my records listed below. You seem to keep putting the worry to all us holders that we may not have completed some step to confirm our escrow holding had a 9393 instead of the 939ESC which most of our records show.
My records show on Etrade statements that all "3" of my escrow holding=
939ESC968 "U"
939ESC992 "P"
939ESC84 "K"
I feel all should saved the 02/11/2022 brokerage statement that shows those securities were removed and IMO are know documented with DST
THOSE "ESC" SECURITIES WERE ALL DOCUMENTED ON 02/11/2022 AS WORTHLESS, and removed from account.
I KEPT A COPY OF THAT STATMENT TO SHOW I HAD THEM RECORDED WITH MY BELIEF THEY WERE ALL TURNED OVER TO DST
IMO, IF YOU RECIEVED THE SHARE DISTRIBUTION - THEY THE DST HAS YOUR RECORDS FOR ALL SECURITIES YOU HELD
Why do we all need to keep "~ Watch Your Six ~" and keep calling our broker so they know who we are?
This will all end soon at least before year -end IMO.
Large Green, you are correct = "WHY DO MANY IGNORE THE (DST) DELAWARE STATUTORY TRUST FACTS"
After all these years I am not sure if it is DTC or DST that has our Escrow records and share count, but believe they were recorded if you signed releases and you received that share distribution
My records show on Etrade that all "3" of my escrow holding=
939ESC968 "U"
939ESC992 "P"
939ESC84 "K"
THOSE "ESC" SECURITIES WERE ALL DOCUMENTED ON 02/11/2022 AS WORTHLESS, and removed from account. NOTE: I USED THAT 02/11/2022 AND RECORDED IT ON MY 2022 AS A TAX LOSS
I KEPT A COPY OF THAT STATMENT TO SHOW I HAD THEM RECORDED WITH MY BELIEF THEY WERE ALL TURNED OVER TO DTC
IMO, IF YOU RECIEVED THE SHARE DISTRIBUTION - THEY THE DTC HAS YOUR RECORDS FOR ALL SECURITIES YOU HELD
sorry CAP LOCK was on but I am more in AZcowbow's camp on his research and possible payout and feel vary soon but before year-end.
I would be happy with shares in COOP or cash but feel we will get both. Life is good!
even after 1:40 R/S DNA still has too many shares outstanding and corporate insiders have poorly mismanaged the company.
Ginkgo Bioworks needs complete restructure and less corporate greed. Some of their founders sell shares daily as they where gifted too many.
I stopped buying long ago and waiting to see if management can get their act together - they all deserve a pay cut!
poor management as they falsely pumped this stock now passing R/S effective Aug. 20
They also know they committed fraud and had to pass = 2. Officer Exculpation Proposal
Item 2 was to approve Article VIII of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to permit officer exculpation (the “Officer Exculpation Proposal”), designated to be voted upon by the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock, voting together as a single class. The results of the vote were as follows:
exculpation
noun
a defense of some offensive behavior or some failure to keep a promise etc.
his transparent self-justification was unacceptable
the act of freeing from guilt or blame
jhdf51, Yes Schwab has had log in issue since they took TDAmeritrade over today I can't even call them most likely because market down.
"Anyone else not able to log into Charles Schwab?"
Justicewillwin, To make big $ on COOP as it is volatile - I STO - sell to open PUTS near support when price moves down and STO Covered Call when price is near resistance high 90"s I just STO a Sept 20th $82.50 PUT and collected $1.50 if on Sept 20 if assigned my cost would be $81.00 I am Bullish long term but make the big $$ on big swings - life is good!
"What a JOKE, LOW-VOLUME takedown, could be $97 next week".
Does anyone have the Excel worksheet for calculating possible return on WMI Preferred and common shares. I had it on my computer but it crashed and had to get new one
Today is dividend day $1.00 per share which will get posted after hour today. IEP having a great day today up .90 now
IEP looks like good buy going forward today at $16.22 Seems to have hit the low, good forward P&E 17, also great expected earnings going forward, next dividend pay day June 25 coming soon $1.00 = 24.72%
It is time too burn the shorts and buy now IMO!
Yes, new low and very unhappy with DNA management. They were too slow to start restructuring and they still have one of the founders selling stock daily - what does he know?
I feel we are close to bottom possible around.50 as lots of shorts took this down fast. We know DNA is in restructuring mode, which they should have done a long time ago. We still have one of their founders selling shares daily which should be in their ethic guidance as he most likely has inside info on R/S soon.
Long term I am positive but unhappy with management.
Why DNA will keep going down is all the insider selling from page 43 of last finacials: Austin has been selling shares daily so it is founders driving the price below SEC requirements of min of $1.00
Ginkgo’s Founders currently own nearly 20% of the outstanding shares of Ginkgo, the vast majority of which are in Class B shares
? Class B shares are not freely tradable (must be converted to Class A) and are often not shown on automated data services
? As such, these aggregation services (such as Bloomberg or Yahoo) can be unhelpful in determining actual holdings of certain investors, including
our Founders, who may hold different classes of shares which may not be included

Icahn Enterprises L.P. (IEP) posted a net loss of $38 million, or a loss of $0.09 per depositary unit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to a net loss of $270 million, or a loss of $0.75 per depositary unit, prior year.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, revenues were $2.5 billion compared to $2.7 billion, a year ago.
On May 6, 2024, the Board of Directors of the general partner of Icahn Enterprises declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $1.00 per depositary unit, which will be paid on or about June 25, 2024, to depositary unitholders of record at the close of business on May 20, 2024.
Top Dividend stocks to buy now!
in this article = https://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/10-dividend-stocks-with-over-9-yield-according-to-analysts-1289046/
8. Icahn Enterprises LP Common Stock (NASDAQ:IEP)
Average Analyst Price Estimate: $25
Upside Potential: 44%
Billionaire Carl Icahn-led conglomerate Icahn Enterprises LP Common Stock (NASDAQ:IEP) is one of the dividend stocks with 9% yield that has high upside potential based on analyst price estimates. Wall Street analysts expect the stock to reach $25, while it was trading at around $17 as of April 14. The company talked about dividends and other important business matters in an earnings call in February:
“CVI declared a fourth quarter cash dividend of $0.50 per share. And now to our Automotive segment. As we previously discussed, the segment has undergone significant change due to the deconsolidation of Auto Plus in January of 2023. The segment results throughout 2023 are made up primarily of automotive service operations as compared to 2022, which also included the aftermarket parts operations of Auto Plus.
Q4 2023 automotive service revenues were down $15 million compared to Q4 2022, driven by store closures and lower car count. Adjusted EBITDA was $28 million for the quarter, a $71 million improvement as compared to Q4 2022, mainly due to the exit of the Auto Plus aftermarket parts business. Now, turning to our Real Estate segment. Q4 2023 net sales and other revenues increased by $8 million and adjusted EBITDA increased by $3 million compared to the prior year quarter, primarily driven by the sale of single family homes. Now on to our Other Operating segments. Food packaging’s adjusted EBITDA was flat for Q4 2023 as compared to the prior year quarter. The quarter-over-quarter comparison was positively impacted by pricing initiatives and lower distribution cost, which was offset by lower sales volume.”
Today is the $1.00 per share dividend pay date. Does anyone know when it gets deposited into our accounts from past payments?
AZCowboy, We are all grateful of your continued DD and knowledge on documents. Are you looking at something like a 1.5 Forward spilt
That would keep us just under 100 million shares and would adjust COOP to around $51.00? You possible have better numbers?
IEP has weekly options so today is the weekly expiration day. It looks like again the MM will pin the closing price ether just above or below $17.00 depending on which side they own the most options. My guess is it will close ether at or just above $17.00 so don't expect a big move today. Long term I like it! Anyone that held IEP on March 10 will receive $1.00 per share dividend on April 18th. It also looks like IEP has shed many losing stocks in 2023 and has moved into many that should go up in 2024
Boris, to be more accurate one should print a copy of Feb. 2022 as all our Escrow was removed from account on 02/11/2022 it shows this removal as:

Zilla, I have been accumulating IEP through STO-sell to open PUTS. I look at Bollinger bands and support zones and look out at a option expiration date that falls right before my expected X-DIV. date. I can collect a nice premium which I keep if the pps closes above my strike price.
On Friday I had lots of $17.50 but was only assigned about half as the pps was close $17.47 but I collected about $1.25 per share in premium. I am now looking out at April 26 option expiration and may look at the 19 or 20 strike price to collect big premium and if assigned collect div in the next month. IMO long term IEP should go up
Today March 8th is the weekly Option expiration day and important one as it falls on EX-Div date. One would need to own IEP today to collect dividend April 18th.
I see a lot of PUT open interest at the $18, 18.50 and 19.00 so IMO we will see MM pin the closing price just below $18.00 to force those like me that have STO PUTS to get assigned IEP but not able to collect this quarter dividend. Today is a great day to own IEP as it pays a nice $1.00 per share dividend on April 18th
Austin Che has been selling shares every day for years. Most likely they are gifted shares which is diluting the value of DNA for years.
IMO, Management has turned DNA into a piggy-bank and they need a salary reduction to turn DNA into something closer to breaking even not losing year after year.

ice, IDEX performance is all about "POOR" management as CEO POOR and group sucks more in salary then what IDEX earns. This is headed for another R/S then into chapter 11 or 7 IMO
Zilla, today is Option expiration date. There was a lot of $17.50 Calls and Puts sold bought and my guess is those big MM will stick the closing pps ether above or below that $17.50 and my bet is it will close above 17.50
Lodas, just asking if you signed your release for your 195K as you stated you had?
You post daily many time hourly telling all other that signed their release will not get anything. - Is it jealousy that since you did not sign your release you wish all other that did sign that they do not get anything. I am sure you will feel very bad if those that did sign get a lot of $$$ and you have posted for years no one will get a Penney?
Go back to your option investing and stop posting your negative opinions. IMO!
4 High-Yield Dividend Stocks Wall Street Thinks Will Soar 45% or More in 2024
Icahn Enterprises LP
Icahn Enterprises LP (NASDAQ: IEP) bears the name of its famous founder, Carl Icahn. The Florida-based holding company operates businesses in a wide range of industries, including automotive, energy, investments, and real estate. Its dividend yield stands at a jaw-dropping 22.3%.
Last year, Icahn Enterprises slashed its dividend in half. The move didn't negatively impact its yield very much because the company's share price nosedived. Over the last 12 months, Icahn Enterprises stock has plummeted 65%.
The lone analyst surveyed by LSEG who set a price target for Icahn Enterprises, however, is looking for brighter days ahead. That target is 45% above the current share price. Although that isn't enough to enable Icahn Enterprises to regain its losses over the past year, it's nonetheless a big jump -- if the stock can climb as much as the analyst projects.
I sold all shares at $2.25 a month ago because of "POOR" management!
Thanks FreeFNMA about those Float calculations, which I do feel are more accurate. I have been rapidly accumulating IEP since their big drop from the $30 to current $17.80 mostly thorough STO PUTS working my strike date to be close/before to X-Div date to collect nice premium and if assigned collect nice dividend.
I feel 2024 should be turn around year and we should see IEP move higher into $20 plus

you see someone is not reporting correct float so not sure where you got that 42M float from.
What I am looking at is the expected earnings for 2024 should perform vary good compared to the 2023 earnings.
I feel IEP will perform good in the next year.
Just sold all my IDEX at 2.25 as IMO this management team will drive IDEX into bankruptcy read the last earning and all foot notes and you will read how much in debt IDEX has without secured funding. Yes, IMO CEO "POOR" is a poor manager that has used IDEX shareholders as his personal piggy-bank for years.
Good Luck to all! but my losses will get recorded in 2023
IEP looks good going forward. 2023 was a bad year with short sellers and the EPS losing -101.7% but looking at 2024 IEP should stat gaining back those loses at their EPS is expected to clime +184.34% We have $1.00 ps div payout on Dec. 27
I loaded up on the Jan 19th STO- sell to open $17.50 PUTS as I expect the pps will be above that 17.50 on that expiration date.
stoxjock, I agree this market runup may be a setup for end of year profit taking after many already sold their tax loses to keep within Wash rules. I like to have lots of cash to buy securities I feel have been over sold and should move up faster 1st of year. I do all my buy's and sells ether through STO-sell to open Covered Calls when my security looks over bought and in top of 30 day Bollinger band.
With cash in account I then look for over sold securities that are trading in the bottom of Bollinger band with a STO-sell to open PUT, which is a optimistic play that you feel the pps will be above ( or below if you wish to acquire the stock and with your premium you already collected makes it a good bet) your Put strike price at expiration date which I use 30 day to 90 days out till expiation date for max premium. Note: these STO PUTS are my main money maker as they usually expirer with 100% premium I collected.
Also very important - I only do these with stock I would like to be assigned at my PUT option price and the extra premium collected makes your cost per share lower. You also need to review the company fundamentals to see where the pps should move - will the expected EPS increase or decrease going forward plus companies book value and if there will be a X-Dividend date during your option period. I have lately gone after many high dividend stock, and play them within ether the Calls or Puts within their Bollinger bans. I hit a home run on OMF that pays $1.00 ps which has ran up over $10 in last couple weeks - right now it has moved too far north to play.
I am buying heavily now with STO PUTS on IEP = https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=IEP&ty=c&ta=1&p=d
which has been hammered by large short hedge fund moving down from $50 to now $15.51 I have been doing the Jan and Feb $17.50 PUTS collecting $2 plus premium which would put my cost at $15.50 or lower if assigned. Yes, they lost big $$ in 2023 but the expected EPS moves up fast next year plus if you acquirer the stock which I have been tiring they pay $1.00 ps dividend which is over a 35% dividend return plus lots of upside trading below book value.
It is all about keeping cash flow coming into your act. and not out! Good luck to all! Like Lodas I am big with options plays and make big $$ but I also signed my releases and hold a vary large amounts of WMI escrow shares plus lot of preferred. and do feel we should get nice return and hopeful soon. From how much Lodas bashes escrow holders I feel he did not sign his releases on his big 195k shares. All IMO!
That large after hour was adjustment for Option expiration which was today. It makes those adjustments depending on Call or Puts above or below strike price.
For me I had $65 covered Call and the pps closed above my 65 price so they were sold BUT I collected $2.00 pps collecting 67 today cash in account. I read the 8k pre market and felt pps would move lower.
COOP has made a big move and I expect some sell off profit taking into next week. If pps makes move lower I can STOP a PUT to collect premium and possibly buy stock back at lower price.
insider selling in last year close to 200 million sold with little new buys.
This is why DNA is going down untill this stops,
go here to see = https://www.secform4.com/insider-trading/1830214.htm
The issue I see with DNA not going up is caused by insider managers and form 144 sales.
To me it looks like management has set up DNA to be their piggy-bank and use shares which dilutes to value to all shareholders to pay compensation.
Most likely they do not have the $$ to pay the CEO his big salary so they sale shares. I have sent letters to IR and CEO to clarify but no response.
Look below as it shows just Austin Che getting paid $8300 per day which is about 3 million per year.
Plus it is much worst as many other insiders have had Hugh sales look here = https://www.secform4.com/insider-trading/1830214.htm
DNA = personal piggy-bank for greedy insiders.
