I don't want to sound like an asshole but his risk adjusted return is soon below a random coin flip

I don't want to sound like an add hole but his risk adjusted return is soon below a random coin flip

It's not about his fund's returns. It's about his battle against Carl Icahn on Herbal Life.

So, risk-adjusted* (the term of the day?), his returns ~49.999%
Man! What is he thinking?

He does back his mouth with his money. He also has a long standing feud with Dan Loeb of Third Point though it's more personal than business related.

 

[JackRab]

Where is he at with Herbalife? Anyone knows what his break even roughly is?

This hedge fund manger is down half a billion and added more size - seems like he is married to this losing trade and trying to talk it down with his film & political actions. There is blood in the water, and it's not from HLF. I will gladly take the other side of this trade if the 3T gets taken out - could be a nice squeeze.

 

[Willba]

Should be an interesting view as to why he will hold this position.

 

[comagnum]

The film had good reviews - so I watched it and really liked it - I certainly see his point of view now and would not go long on this company.
