Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Bill Ackman is one of those people who don't leave us indifferent. Either we see an awesome story of an investor who is able to risk and lose or, as the podcast says too, maybe a gambler with luck to sometimes win sometimes lose. Anyway, we can't deny he is hardworking and has a strong drive. This podcast shows in how many places and companies he has been, his main dealings, success, failures, and his character. Not to praise or belittle him. This is shown here to allow us, if we want, to learn more how these special people move, where do they get that drive and passion to be successful without fear of losing. Nice watch.
