Fooling some of the people all of the time by 2401974|David Einhorn book cover

📘 Fooling some of the people all of the time

How far will some unscrupulous companies go to keep the truth about their dealings from the American investor? Farther than the eye can see, according to this account by Einhorn, the founder of Greenlight Capital, a long-short value-oriented hedge fund. Einhorn's firm has achieved greater than a 25 percent annualized net return for its investors since 1996, proof that Einhorn can literally put his money where his mouth is. At a charity investment conference he did just that, and told the world he had become alarmed by the practices of Allied Capital and had sold it short. The result was near-chaos for Allied, but its minions retaliated through powerful connections in Washington, resulting in Einhorn being investigated by the SEC. In the meantime, Allied continues on, making Einhorn the target of its anger.
