If HLF pulls a Volkswagen, Ackman's career would be over. Daniel Drew once said, "He who sells what isnât hisân, Must buy it back or go to prison." http://www.americanhistoryusa.com/quotes-daniel-drew-sells-hisn-buy-prison/
Ackman is a moron. He cared more about being right (and that is a technicality anyway) than making money. He could have switched from his shorts when nicely in the money and could have made shitload on the long side, saying, oupps, I was wrong, or just publicly abandoning his crusade against HLF. An announcement like that would have caused an immediate 20-30% jump right away...
Was this a Short Squeeze or fundamental change in outlook. Herbalife built a palace and construction is hauling ass now! It's a rush to finish up their hideous landscaping, fill up the pool and spa, for their "Associates who are selling the most, it's their retreat and relaxation studio". Trucks are moving, landscapers are scrambling like mad. I wondered when Herbalife would finish their house and with all William Ackman's cash in their pocket, it's a done deal! Trying to attach a file showing this beast of a house and all the stupid Palm Trees that do not go with my avocados and grapes. Maybe Magna will help me post this photo of HLF"s monstrosity of a castle, my poor avocado orchard!

George Soros getting involved with HLF, a coordinated attack to crush Ackman or he believe's Eastern Europe and China are great markets for their products? Who knows, it's making us money now! Reporter: Do you hate William Ackman? Ichan: "I've really about had it with this guy," he said. "He's like the crybaby in the schoolyard." CNBC Soros: "No, I don't hate Ackman. I pity the fool, and I will destroy any man who tries to take what I got!" Ichan and Soros "I predict Pain!" Ichan "I'm the baddest man in the world!" "Rocky 3" Quotes, Ichan is the Clubber Lang, he has that tough persona, Soros too, what did William Ackman do to get Ichan and Soros pissed off at him? Smart link pica! I love the stories of those players from 1870 to 1930s Market Titans and their tactics!
i used to think of ackman as my role model, but i cant believe he is now bitching about soros' stake moving the stock 10%, while he shouted out loud to the entire world about his short, which tanked the stock 30%+.
Where are all the posters who all of a sudden had a strong view that HLF was going to be shut down by the FTC? At the time, they were so certain. It was as if they had done all this original research that no one else had done regarding store fronts, accounting practices, and product contents.
