market folly

Below is hedge fund Pershing Square Capital Management's presentation on their short position in Realty Income (O). We've covered the basics of their short earlier on and now here's your chance to see more specifics as to why they think Realty Income will eventually have to cut their dividend; an action that could potentially send their large retail investor base fleeing. Ackman will be presenting at the Value Investing Congress which is taking place in New York both today and tomorrow so we'll have to see if he further elaborates on this short or whether he presents a different investment idea. Ackman's presentation of his short in 'O' comes from the Great Investors Best Ideas conference and you can see what other hedge fund managers presented here.
