  • "Icahn: I pushed for a $150 billion buyback from Apple CEO Tim Cook" ["'I feel very strongly about this,' Icahn said. 'I can't promise you the stock will go up and I can't promise you they will do the buyback. But I can promise you that I'm not going away until they hear a lot more from me concerning this.' ... What's more, sales of the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C surpassed the street's expectations, so it's likely the tech giant will just keep adding more cash to its stockpile. And it's becoming more clear that Icahn, who is believed to have a $2 billion stake in the company, wants more of that cash."]  CNBC 10:52 AM
