BETTING ON ZERO

[SocialResponsibility]

Documentary about Herbalife and Bill Ackman's $1.0B short position.

Pretty good flick. Ties in a lot of different elements (Wall Street, health and nutrition, low income population, etc).

I highly recommend it. Great documentary.

Wow, seems like a really good behind the scenes look.
I remember Carl taking a position and Bill getting smashed.
Bill was banking on the government shutting them down, which is super risky because if it were to happen overnight, I short position on a stock with 0 is also worth 0. He would have had to of hoped for an interrogation and then covered at near bottom.

I'll be watching this one for sure.
