Valeant...another disaster for Bill Ackman. What's with this guy? What's with all these guys?

Bill Ackman's sinking hedge fund career

Valeant shares are getting pummeled today. Hedge fund guy, Bill Ackman, was long a boatload. He's getting creamed.

That comes after his disaster with shorting Herbalife. That was a disaster even despite teh fact that he tried to get the government to intervene on his behalf and start an investigation into the company. (Sleaze.)

Then we find out he recently shorted the Chinese yuan because he thought there was going to be a "debt crisis" in China. Like, China would run out of yuan. The other idiot that did that was Kyle Bass, who keeps losing money in one fictitious debt crisis after another. (Remember the Japan debt crisis he predicted?)

What's wrong with these guys? Ackman, Bass, Einhorn, Gross...they all suck. They all do the same, wrong thing. They're all fucking clueless.

I should be managing billions. Maybe I suck at marketing. Yeah, I do.

Does billionaire hedge fund guy, Bill Ackman, ever make any money? Legitimately?

What's with Bill Ackman, I mean, does he make money?

"Ackman’s hedge fund may have lost over $160 million on Valeant’s stock on Thursday, and about $580 million since March 31"

The only thing I ever see coming from this guy are losses and that's even with the help of the media that he enlists to spread lies about companies he has positions in or, getting regulators to launch investigations where they're not warranted.

For the life of me I cannot figure out these hedge fund guys. They seem really clueless or, only capable of cheating or defrauding. It seems like Ackman really doesn't know what he is doing, but he certainly goes around talking like he's a VSP (very smart person).

Go figure.

Whiny hedge fund idiot, Bill Ackman, buys the government's help to bail him out of his Herbalife short















Bill Ackman, the whining, crybaby hedge fund manager who has been disastrously selling short shares of Herbalife for two years, bleeding money in the process, has finally found someone to help his losing cause: the U.S. government.

That's right, he basically paid off the government to launch an inquiry into whether or not Herbalife is a pyramid scheme. The Federal Trade Commission has just launched an investigation on the behest of a group funded by Ackman.

We have all kinds of problems here in the U.S. folks: unemployment, income inequality, homelessness, maimed veterans, an education system that sucks, rotting infrastructure, monopolistic companies, plus much more. But no...the government feels it's more important to  get involved to protect the short position of one fucking idiot hedge fund manager.

The U.S. has become so corrupt it's almost impossible to describe at this point. Corrupt and rogue. A sham government and a nation that is rewriting the book when it comes to hypocrisy. (Sec of State Kerry: "You can't just invade a country on false pretense." LOL!!!!)

Remember that brilliant TV exchange between Carl Icahn and Ackman on CNBC a couple of years ago? It was all about Herbalife back then as well. I love the part where Icahn said that he used to beat up whiny little kids like Ackman in the schoolyard when he was growing up in Queens. I don't know about you, but I would pay handsomely to see him do it again. 

The existence of all these hedge funds is a symptom of a sick nation, a sick society and totally corrupt government. It is a glaring sign that we have our priorities soooo out of whack that it is not even funny. 

Guys like Ackman are parasites of the worst kind. This guy can't trade to save his life. He's a fucking sorry investor if you ask me. He also got his ass burned on JC Penney and I think he bought gold on the whole, "Fed is printing money," false inflation meme, just like all the other idiots. In short, what the fuck is he doing managing any money in the first place? And who invested with this guy? Whoever it was I'd like to see them go up in smoke, too.

Sorry for the editorializing here, but I guess you can tell I'm mad as hell.
