Why is the Ackman thing such a big deal? Break it down

he's just famous in the finance world. He manages billions of dollars and often moves markets when he buys or sells something. Him and Carl Icahn (another famous investor) hate each other as well.

I mean you obviously don't get to their positions without being smart or knowing what you're doing. If you ever get a chance watch that video they start really going at it. The traders on the Nasdaq floor are even watching it and you can hear them cheering behind the set of the CNBC reporter.

To be fair, I agree with Ackman's thesis on Herbalife, but he should know that there can be a disconnect between being right and making money.

That disconnect tends to shrink gradually through time. If you're going to have that attitude, any kind of financial analysis or valuation method is basically a waste of time :manny:
