I'll vote now

I agree with virtually everything you said. When Ackman came out and put on a presentation it was more than just pumping his position (which I have a problem with but it goes on all the time). He was in a sense trying to get HLF investigated and shut down. That irritated me because there are people dedicated to making money from the brand - just like Avon, Mary Kay, Amway, Tupperware etc etc. I realize not all of these are public but my point still stands.

I thought Ackman handled himself with more style and grace on CNBC but I couldn't help but pull for Icahn because I already thought Ackman was a punk for what he did months prior. This has nothing to do with the fact that I've been trying to get Carl to adopt me LOL!!

Hi Bob, just going back through the posts and I feel that you are spot on in terms of Ackman has been busy at work at a Bear raid....... and that he is not the sharpest pencil in the box........

(sorry for my very long delay to your post......... Feb 15th is my birthday and I was fairly engaged with a few things around that time....... But I do Read the thread.......... !!!!!!!!! sometimes it takes a while to get to some patches.
