Couldn't have happened to a better person than Ackman. I just feel bad for his investors. Icahn was even ripping him saying he's too risky.


I don't know how analysts didnt see this coming. Some Yale professor (I think it was Yale) wrote a paper a year or two ago saying Valeant's accounting makes no sense and the stock is potentially worth $0.

It was before that. Some deal ackman backed out of with Icahn and he sued. Herbalife just escalated it.


But like Icahn was pointing out. Ackman's fund was 20% short HLF at one point. I don't even know if I'd stomach that risk considering what you're paying this a$$hole.

Which makes the herbalife/valeant positioning that much more curious. Why overlook irregularities at one and build a massive long position while simultaneously waging a public battle against HLF? HLF near 52 week highs too. That short has made absolutely no progress:mjlol:

I buy a lot of eth on margin and it decides to start shaking people out:mjcry:

all because it takes forever to buy a bulk of bitcoin

What is this ETH?

Is it like the other bitcoin copycat protocol where these guys took investors money and bought Ferraris?
