to take away Belle was all over the news due to a really bad investment in Valiant Pharmaceuticals if you ask him he'll tell you it was one very big mistake but let me tell you that is a massive understatement Bill ended up selling all his Valiant stock for a whopping loss of over four billion dollars according to Bloomberg his fan bought the stock at around 166 dollars per share and then sold it for just 11 a share which means he lost 93 of his investment his farm even said in a press release that the investment took up a ton of time and resources can you imagine losing that much money on one investment I mean it would be rough but don't worry about Bill too much he's still a billionaire so he's doing just fine even though this investment was a disaster there are still some things to admire about it it takes a lot of confidence and courage to make such a huge advancement and not many people have that kind of conviction in fact when Bill made this investment it reportedly made up more than 20 percent of passion Squire's assets the bold move but unfortunately it didn't work out in this case and the result was pretty catastrophic okay so here's the thing about Bill the guy is known for being a bold and Brash Ambassador and apologies aren't really his thing he's made a ton of money for himself and his investors with big out of the box bands but he admitted that his biggest batch yet on Valiant Pharmaceuticals was a massive screw-up that cost us hedge fund firm Pershing Square Capital Management a ton of money he even went as far as to say sorry in an annual letter to his investors saying I deeply and profoundly apologize it's not often that you hear a successful hedge fund manager like Ackman admit to making a mistake so this is pretty significant

his investment in Valiant Pharmaceuticals it looks like his ego might have got the best of him despite all the red flags and warning signs he held onto his investment as the stock price plummeted

for passing in 2015 and 2016 and even when it was sold in 2017 at 11 it was down 32 percent this shows how a single Big Bear can affect overall performance and highlights the importance of
