It is in fact somewhat difficult determining the top mind blowing spectacular hedge fund trades of 2014, partly because the top two trades were executed by the same hedge fund executive.
Bill Ackman of Pershing Square Capital will likely go down in history as the only trader to have executed an activist hedge fund strategy once and then have regulators quietly disallow the tactic. This, along with his muck racking journalistic effort with Herbalife, where he has vowed to destroy a major functioning American corporation, emerge as the two most spectacular hedge funds trades in a year of amazing developments.
