Tyler Durden's picture




 

Love Bill Ackman or hate him, whether or you think that his outlier "investment" of the year, one which generated nearly half of his P&L in 2014 namely the collusive hostile bid with Valeant on whose balance sheet he piggy-backed in an attempt to acquire Allergan with lots and lots of debt and whose public announcement he front-ran with even more leverage in the form of hundred of millions in call options, was more criminal than the alleged Herbalife pyramid scheme or perfectly legitimate, one thing is beyond dispute - of all the prominent hedge funds, Ackman's Pershing Square was the best performing hedge fund of 2014.

Here are Ackman's biggest winners and losers of the past year.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. said Thursday it plans to cut more than 350 jobs later this year. The banking company has notified local employees at the Chase Tower location downtown about the job eliminations in late summer or early fall from its mortgage banking operations. All of 350 positions will be eliminated from that location. JPMorgan employs close to 1,500 in the Greater Rochester area. The cuts are due to a decrease in mortgage modification work with people in danger of losing their homes, as well as mortgage refinancing in general, according to a JPMorgan spokesperson.

CIBC in Canada too just announced 500 job cuts....along with Tim Hortons...real estate slowdown...oil price impact on lending and loan losses are already showing signs of stress.

2 weeks ago, Canada had the biggest lay off ever of Target with about 18k employees plus Suncor Energy, Shell and Sony also fired hundreds more.

CIBC to cut about 500 jobs  Tim Hortons cut 350 people in layoffs this week, company says

 

20,000 jobs have been lost in Canada in just this month....seems oil is having greater impact in US and Canada than in Russia and Saudi!

Canada is in a tough spot, eh!

It's about time.

Last time we were there, the local paper had Ford Raptor pick-ups advertised at ONLY $199 per week.  Gosh, for anybody that can do simple arithmetic, that's over $862/mth on an 8-year term.  Can't wait to see these ultra-expensive toys show up on kajiji for half the price.

It looks like he wins when he's able to manipulate the market and engage in isider trading, but shen he's on his own, he doesn't do so well.

Light-hearted look at Ackman’s impact to the music of The Crystals:

I bought “Herb” on a Monday
Then my heart stood still
Da-doo ron-ron-ron, Da-doo ron-ron
Somebody told me his name was Bill
Da-doo ron-ron-ron, Da-doo ron-ron

Yeah, my heart stood still
Yeah, the bastard’s name is Bill
And, my mouth’s startin’ to foam
Da-doo ron-ron-ron, Da-doo ron-ron

I got stopped out in the big decline
Da-doo ron-ron-ron, Da-doo ron-ron
Someday soon I’m gonna kill that swine
Da-doo ron-ron-ron, Da-doo ron-ron

Yeah, I’ll kill that swine
Yes, his ass’ll be mine
No, he’ll never make it home
Da-doo ron-ron-ron, Da-doo ron-ron

Herbalife is multilevel marketing fraud. There must be plenty of new unemployed suckers who buy into the story.
