1. My god someone go back in time and tell him to sell Valeant
2. Volume is too low.
3. bad interviewer...geez..
4. Incredible person. People re ripping him for maybe 2 mistakes. But hes had way more good accomplishments. I guess the notion is right that you do 100 things right and 1 thing wrong and people are gonna remember you for that 1 bad thing. Well spoken guy that you can listen to all day.
5. Amazing and detailed insight on corporate governance. Much appreciation to you sir Bill Ackman!
6. He needs to talk about Valeant.
7. $FNMA right or wrong?
8. cant hear shit, wtf is this
9. Herbalife still operating strong. Icahn just took his ownership up to 23% trying to "buy" Ackman out of it. My prediction is the best time to get in would be April 2017. Stock is gonna bomb after that.
