These interviewers should be fired. They need to go back cleaning toilets for a living.

49... thats the stupidest thing i have ever heard....

Without short sellers there would be a lot more fraud in the market.

@skumarjunk Well they aren't as smart as Ackman, but Ackman also seems to be shy and socially awkward. I think that was a big problem throughout the interview.

@49fiori WTF are you talking about, I don't think you even know what's going on.

[49fiori]

Short selling is just going against the trend.

DJIA was 66 in 1921 it is 12,500 today. how do you lost money in this 90 years, many many many people did, but to be a short seller, you really are betting against the trend, which always has been and always will be upward...

[49fiori]

6:29 - I think we will make more money on the long side this year.

May 2008 - how wrong he would be just 4 months later....

[49fiori]

May 10 2008 - they talk about CDOs just pay attention with what conviction Ackman talks about CDOs being extremely dangerous

[davkail]

Einhorn got the shaft on that interview. His one question was about how he met Ackman.

@nnnNOTORIOUS

true, you would only mark the 90% remaining as your current position.

I was referring to the accounting entry rationale, sold 10% to find a price (verifiable) and the gain/loss would be separated from historical cost and recognized according to applicable GAAP (consistent) ...but thanks for the comment

@nnnNOTORIOUS thanks for your reply. I actually found the same video on the list on the right posted in May 2008, so it is actually earlier. Very interesting commentry. Thanks again for the reply.
