With the recent backing of the gov in this sector, and the potential of covers for all the shorts floating, I think MBI will see some new higher price support  for the short term, and a slow rise for long.  I vote get in soon, let it simmer!

Hedge Fund Tracking: Ackman's Pershing Square, Q3 2008

Next in the series we have Pershing Square Capital Management. If you're unfamiliar with them, Bill Ackman runs Pershing Square Capital, a well known value/activist based hedge fund. The fund started in 2003 after Gotham Partners broke up.

The past few years, he has had notable short positions in the bond insurers such as MBIA (MBI) and Ambac (ABK). Some of his activist positions include Target (TGT) and Borders (BGP). Simply put, Ackman is a smart man. Recently, he detailed his plans for Target to spin-off its real-estate to unlock value. We'll see if this proposal picks up any steam.
