- Amicus Therapeutics (Nasdaq: FOLD) - down 17% this week; after nearly hitting a 52-week high last week, shares of Amicus have fallen five days in a row as insiders have recently been selling. Although Icahn only holds about 200,000 shares, this week's sharp decline has taken about $570,000 in value from Icahn compared to his holdings at last Friday's close.
