Below is the link to a video of Bill Ackman discussing his recent purchase of P&G.  This is an absolutely huge position for him representing very high conviction.  We have been investing in P&G as well primarily through the selling of long term put options.  While Ackman’s stake is close to $2 billion it still represents only about 1% of the company.  If Ackman is able to influence the company this would be a tremendous testament to the respect he garners around Wall Street.  P&G needs to more clearly identify their strategy given the macroeconomic pressures.  They have lost their way in terms of pricing and have been losing market share in some key areas.
