Man for anyone in the finance or investment realm…this HLF battle is really one for the ages. It will be interesting to see who wins. One side is going to lose a LOT of money.

For those of you that missed the video it’s here:

One thing I’ll say is Ackman is a very smart guy. I made lots of money on a short position on MBIA during the financial crises thanks to Mr. Ackman.

Many people tried bullying him but ultimately on that position he made a bloody fortune. Read the book Confidence Game. Very interesting story.

I haven’t shorted HLF but man I’m interested who ultimately wins that battle.
