Bill Ackman is Human

On Thursday, Bill Ackman's long fought proxy battle with Target, ($TGT), ended, and he did not reach his goal of obtaining a seat on the board. I was a little surprised, as I have learned to expect him to always succeed. After the vote, he addressed the audience. It was reported on CNBC that he cried. I know many people laughed at this, but I only gained more respect for him, as he can still show his humaness. He is not yet salt; this takes courage for someone in his position. I look forward to his future endeavors. I still think he is the bellwether of our economy; far ahead of the pack, because of his abilitiy to overlay ideas and perceive change. I think he won a bigger battle this week than anyone understands.
