Acclaimed value investor William Ackman teaches you what it takes to finance and grow a successful business and how to make sound investments that will grant you to a cash-comfy retirement.

this is actually a good deal for the worker-investor
most of Value Added as compensation–give yurself a bonus
its like the airlines or UBS
run for the employees–shareholders get “nuthin”
dont”invest”
its a good worker investor deal if they
“worked” say 50-100 hrs on some hotdays and football games
I did appreciate watching this. This was an excellent and crisp introductory tutorial to investing.
I think if you can listen to a person speak for 45 minutes, that can give you a reasonably accurate sense of that person. We all know how successful Bill Ackman has been been but also came away with a very good feeling about him as a person and as a professional who seems to have a steady head for the business.
