David Einhorn Speaking at Value Investing Congress
Posted on | September 28, 2011 | No Comments
The Value Investing Congress in New York, has just added David Einhorn as a speaker. Einhorn is an author and the hedge fund manager of Greenlight Capital. He has made headlines in a few of his short positions, although, he claims to be a net long investor. Shorting usually does generate more headlines because it is a contrarian position to take. He originally caused quite a stir when he shorted Allied Capital which was chronicled in his book Fooling Some of the People All of the Time. It is a book I have read and recommend for glimpsing inside the hedge fund industry and what companies like Greenlight do before they short a company. Undoubtedly, the book is self serving at times, but it is a fascinating read.
Einhorn’s other notable shorts were Lehman Brothers and more recently St. Joes, where he is pitted against Bruce Berkowitz who has a substantial long position. Einhorn is often a controversial speaker, and it would not surprise me if he announces a new short position, or interesting long position at the congress.
