Carl Icahn is the perfect example of someone you don’t want to do business with, he owes you money and refuses to keep to an agreement and still comes back to haunt you because he can’t take a loss. Carl Icahn is a proud bully.

Bills herbalife position was flawless in technical terms but he talked to much about it

[magicsaint]

Love such finance documentaries. Good research, storytelling, and learning material. Got my like and subscribe. Keep it up!

[PrabhatSharma]

To be fair though Ackman was right shortly after he exited his position in 2018, the shares of Herbalife never stopped falling untill nov 2019, having Fallen a -65.91%. to this day, they're trading around $ 23 . he just got screwed over and the more he talked about it, the more he talked himself out of it.

This one was absolutely crazy, Kevin. Definitely the best one so far. Thank you for putting in all this effort on your videos

[funded-ylwg]

I think bill ackman’s biggest problem is taking too much risk just right after a big win. I feel that he should take smaller risks right after his big wins.

[KeithAdam]

This channel is a gem!!! Incredible documentary with a great touch of memes

[yappydabbad]

One of the greatest investors of all time! His batting average on all his investments is over 80% which is insane

[sophiada]

We work for years to have, $1million while some people I know put thousand of dollars in some meme coins and they are millionaires.

Incredibly high quality video. Keep up the great work.

[lennard]

Appreciate the Amount of Work is in this Video, Kevin.

[weho_brian]

gotta hand it to him, even with then implosion of Valeant, and basically the entire financial indusry against him, he came back. Now we need a story about cathie wood lol

[HomerSimpson-bmlz]

The notion of putting Ackman on the same page as Buffet is preposterous.

[genjuroSE]

Hope your leg feels better, looking forward to watch this. Keep it up Kev.

[angelomariano]
