    Yep 2 days after he covered his $2.5 billion short and had already went long he got on tv crying hell would come if certain things weren't done. He should have been arrested on tv for stock manipulation . And people wonder why the average person thinks the mkt is manipulated and crooked . lol

    I never liked that little crybaby. I got to say i loved it when he lost $4.5 billion on that medical stock a few yrs ago and $1 bil shorting herbal life. He was on TV constantly hyping his positions to no avail . He's the poster child of whats wrong with the greed that draps our mkt

    Ackman is one of the very few fund managers who has come out and said he is bullish.

    Meanwhile, Buffet, Munger, Fink, Dimon, and Gundlach have all come out with bearish comments.

    You know what that means? If the market continues higher from here, Ackman is going to take the crown as the new "guru" (Buffett/Sir John Templeton confidence-man) of our era, which means CNBC/WSJ/Barrons, etc will be salivating over his every word for the next 2 decades, especially once Buffett passes away.

    Bingo aka Abbey Joseph Cohen and Elaine garzarelli of the 1990's And when your wrong people forget ( Aka Tom Lee who's been a raging bull the last 3 years nonstop and he brushed off the down 37% and is still bullish). The moral of the story the mkt's had 6 down yrs the last 39 years so why ever be bearish ? Stay bullish the whole time and be a hero, make millions and be happy. If the mkt crumbles so what everyone sees was wrong too. But if you get bearish and we continue higher 80% of the time like we go you'll be hated and unemployed at some time . Why ever fight the system. At some pt some pt almost all bears become reformed for survival at some pt( David Rosenberg and Michael metzs in the 1990's ) . Hell even Joe Granville the greatest permabear of all time blamed his heart attack in the 1990's on being a bear

    I'll go back and jog everyones's memory. I started watching Fnn in 1989 . Anyone remember PQ Wall and Jerry Favors? I remember like yesterday the dow was at i believe 1600 in 1990 and favors was bearish. It was the low and as they say "the rest is history". I was loading Laidlaw ,Cisco systems,Ast research ,Cabletron ,Circuit city and US healthcare (they were a bigger hmo than United back then).
