    I don't want to sound like an asshole but his risk adjusted return is soon below a random coin flip

    It's not about his fund's returns. It's about his battle against Carl Icahn on Herbal Life.

    So, risk-adjusted* (the term of the day?), his returns ~49.999%
    Man! What is he thinking?

    He does back his mouth with his money. He also has a long standing feud with Dan Loeb of Third Point though it's more personal than business related.

    Where is he at with Herbalife? Anyone knows what his break even roughly is?

    This hedge fund manger is down half a billion and added more size - seems like he is married to this losing trade and trying to talk it down with his film & political actions. There is blood in the water, and it's not from HLF. I will gladly take the other side of this trade if the 3T gets taken out - could be a nice squeeze.

    Should be an interesting view as to why he will hold this position.

    The film had good reviews - so I watched it and really liked it - I certainly see his point of view now and would not go long on this company.
