Caught this one over the weekend and thought you might enjoy this.
CNBC had long/short investors William Ackman, of Pershing Square Capital Management, and David Einhorn, of Greenlight Capital, on Squawk Box last Friday; The Big Picture shares the video highlights with us.
Topics of discussion include the panel's defense of short-selling, the advantages of long/short portfolios, Bill Ackman on valuing long-term investments, the importance of mark-to-market accounting, and more.
You may remember Ackman for his famously thorough research in advancing his short positions in Ambac and MBIA. David Einhorn is often associated with his long-running battle with Allied Capital, detailed in his new book, Fooling Some of the People All of the Time.
Enjoy the CNBC clips and the discussion.
