In a letter to Pershing stakeholders, Ackman said the fund completed the exit from his bets against the market on March 23 and generated $2.

6 billion compared with premiums paid and commissions totaling $27 million.

"The federal government and the U.S. Treasury have intervened in financial markets in an unprecedented fashion, and the Congress is on the brink of passing legislation which will help bridge the economy and our country's workforce and citizens during what we believe to be a temporary but massive economic shock," Ackman wrote.

For those reasons, "we became increasingly positive on equity and credit markets last week, and began the process of unwinding our hedges and redeploying our capital in companies we love at bargain prices," he added.

Of course he did. WITH YOUR HELP! Letting him come on the air and scream the sky is falling was shameful! You should be more thoughtful when choosing guests and not allow manipulators screen time! Please and thank you 🙏

When you can’t pick stocks manipulate them

What happened to “Hell is coming?” I guess the same as when he shorted Herbalife and lost $$$$$.

Do you guys get a kickback for helping him clear the last 20% when you had him on air fear mongering?
