E19: Bill Ackman

Pop quiz hotshot, who’s the coolest guy. If you answered with any name other than Bill Ackman, you are INCORRECT. This episode is about the coolest guy in the world, who as we have established is Bill Ackman. We try to understand the mindset of the “activist investor,” why people think having a billion dollars makes them uniquely qualified to weigh in on stuff they don’t understand at all, and examine some of the funniest L’s that Bill Ackman has taken in his quest to live up to his name, which he believes stands for “Billionaire Activist Man.”
