not true, let Ackman speak for himself. Ackman has always been an active investor, and anyone with unbias view knows he hedges. hedging is not all or nothing, in fact hedging is basically timing where you can gain from both sides as things evolve or change. spot the deception.
i get it, when in debt up to your eyeballs and the only thing one has ever known is one stock, things get very tainted when looking at markets and sharing opinions on anything but that one stock.
I think Ackman knows over time he will gain from both, big time.
