AU CONTRAIRE: I’ll Give You The Names And Phone Numbers Of At Least Half A Dozen Clients Who’ve Invested With Pershing Square Expressly, And I Quote, “Because Of That Incredible Head Of Hair”

By

The returns are great and all but for many they’re not the actual draw.

Since its inception in 2004, Pershing Square has registered a 24 percent annual return, while the average fund has returned just 5.7 percent, according to Hedge Fund Research. In person, Bill Ackman cuts a striking figure, standing at 6′ 3″ tall with a shock of grey hair. But it is the stature of his fund’s performance which is what most draws investors to him.

Erroneous.

    David Einhorn wears a toupee. Punch his name into Google Images and check out the high tech, poly fuse roadkill atop his head. I wonder what his employees think.

    Nothing new, isn’t this how Donald Trump was able to raise capital? In fact if memory serves me right, Tepper was the OG.
