@RealJimChanos When a 40 year old analyst at Pershing has a stake in $PS worth $1 bn, not only does it tell me that $PS is overvalued, but it also confirms how horrible Ackman's judgment is in allocating such a large percentage of the firm to a well coiffed colleague without any track record.

@Akston_Capital Putting aside what the shareholders, directors, activist ahareholders @HoldCoAM, his wife and anyone else, what does Chris Gorman, in his heart, want to accomplish at $KEY? Keep going as is? Acquire? Sell?

If it gets to mid to low 20s copart $Cprt seems like a good bet. Insurance mkt will harden and yes they have competition but duopolistic markets are still attractive and at 3-3.5x sales I think you’re good

@BillAckman Literally every asset that’s managed by you including $HHH $PSHZF and now $PSUS has always traded at a discount. Why would this one be any different?
