* Icahn Gets FTC Okay To Boost CSX Stake

According to a posting a ftc.gov, Carl Icahn and related funds was granted early termination notice from the FTC, required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust law, on CSX Corp. (NYSE: CSX).

The FTC did not disclose the nature of the transaction, but approvals are given on acquisition of stocks or assets greater than $50 million.

At 12/31, Icahn Capital held 2.9 million shares of CSX of 0.69%.

=============================================================

Looks like Icahn is upping his stake in CSX. According to your earlier posting (10/24/07), the Grahm Fair Value was $68.04. CSX is near it's all time high as it traded over $51 today. Icahn may feel there is still another 30% of value to be had in the company and is building his stake accordingly.
