This is what’s wrong with the world

This company. You should be ashamed of yourself for investing. I hope it gets shorted into the ground to zero

Yep - check out the netflix documentary "dirty money"  there is a whole episode dedicated to Ackman and Pearson...............

Big deal, Dirty Money is nothing but entertainment. That documentary introduces nothing new and is nothing but a recap of what the market has already known about Valeant for 2 years in the words of short sellers involved. We get it, the Michael Pearson roll up strategy was a failure and the shorts made millions.

I think it was quite a good simplified summary of why this was such a great short.  Certainly help my son with his grade 12 econ class.  Why so patronising and so angry?  Did you get burnt.....

Isn't that pretty much what I said? You seem to have issues reading between the lines but I understand, not everyone is sharp. The initial post implied there was some sort of new information. There wasn't. Just a summary in the eyes of short sellers. The doc was old news, if it helped your son, good for you. Going forward every single piece of info in that doc is old news.

Guy does DD with Netflix. Nuff said.

LOL - I was short Valeant.  Unfortunately paired trade that was long concordia. Glad I can make you feel better about yourself.
