Steve Jobs, then and now, and Tim Cook, now.<\/p>\n David Einhorn and his updated book on Charlie Rose. <\/strong>His book:<\/span> His biography: DAVID EINHORN is the president of Greenlight Capital, which he cofounded in January 1996 with $1 million. It now has over $8 billion under management. Greenlight Capital is a value-oriented investment advisor whose goal is to achieve high absolute rates of return while minimizing the risk of capital loss. Einhorn is the Chairman of Board of Greenlight Capital RE and also serves on the boards of Hillel; The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research; and of the Robin Hood Foundation.<\/p>\n In 2002, David Einhorn\u2014one of the country’s top investors\u2014was asked at a charity investment conference to share his best investment advice. His response: short sell Allied Capital. At the time, Allied was a leader in the private financing industry with a reputation that had never been questioned. But Einhorn claimed Allied was using murky accounting practices to prop itself up. At the time of the original version of Fooling Some of the People All of the Time, the outcome of his advice was unknown. Now, the story is complete and we know Einhorn was right. He was right again when in 2008 Einhorn advised the same conference to short sell Lehman Brothers. With a new and substantial epilogue, the paperback edition of Fooling Some of the People All of the Time<\/em> provides a detailed conclusion to the gripping battle between Allied Capital and Einhorn’s Greenlight Capital and describes how many parts of the Allied Capital story were replayed in the debate over Lehman Brothers. I listened to David’s recommendation on Lehman Brothers, sold it short and recommended to my readers that they do likewise. We made money on Lehman.<\/p>\n David’s excellent interview with Charlie Rose is here.<\/strong><\/span><\/a> This man is impressive. Enjoy.
