businessinsider.com William Cohan, the author of "Money and Power: How Goldman Sachs Came to Rule the World", has a fantastic anecdote in his piece in the April issue of Vanity Fair about an ill-fated Hamptons bike ride Bill Ackman took with Daniel Loeb last summer Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/ackman-and-loeb-bike-ride-story-2013-2#ixzz2MEdN28WO

Ackman is going to get hosed. The bigger effect will be when everyone long the shares kills the rehypothecation authority all at once. Retail shorts who don't answer their phone next week will be closed out as their brokers lose the borrowed shares. Professional Short Squeeze 101 has begun for unhedged shorts, and at the level Ackman says he short, he can not possibly have it all locked down. You know I'm back in if you read the pm I sent you last week. Still time to hook on for the ride. Follow the yahoo msg board and when they start squealing "I just got bought in", you'll know the coast is clear to buy with impunity.

Forgot to add, the dealer selling Carl the options is long the paired stock. Have no idea who it is. Also, read the Vanity Fair article at their site. That also tells you why I'm long. Ackman is a narcissist and bets the farm unnecessarily.

You could see the preliminary HLF move starting yesterday off $35, Ackman doubly reemed today with JCP results though a nice contrarian bounce there was expected off 16's, Ackman forced to support his own doggie, gt it on all sides. The UVXY made for another exciting trade entered off $10 later day after this artificial ramp on the SPY conked out, one wonders just how any fools they think are out there to buy these stocks trading up at these highs now? As an example for all the glowing up grades PCLN gapped & faded 17pts yesterday from lower dub;e top t 710 gap high and down another 17pts today, to 680 before bouncing with the SPY later, central bankers confident speeches in more stimulous action just makes one think things are more fragile than ever and all but priced in.
