  Pershing has raised a $5 billion for a U.S. Dual IPO in pursuit of a Warren Buffett investing powerhouse.

  And for our radio and TV listeners, I want to welcome Pershing Square CEO and founder Bill Ackman.

• 00:26

  Bill, thank you so much for stopping by today.

• 00:28

  Of course, thank you.

• 00:29

  So as I mentioned, this has been years in the making, at least two years.

• 00:32

  It's had fits and starts much like this American IPO market itself.

• 00:36

  What was it like to get there?

• 00:37

  This over the line it 's great it 's a great day but it 's really you know it 's the beginning right the beginning of a journey

• 00:43

  so it 's the beginning of a journey and now armed with five billion how quickly can you put that to work Actually,

• 00:49

  we think it 's a very good time to put the capital to work and we invest in the most liquid companies in the world.

• 00:53

  So it's really, it's weeks, not months.

• 00:55

  So it's weeks.

• 00:56

  But there's this question.

• 00:58

  So some of the companies that you own in your other portfolio,

  for example, Uber, Meta, they 've had a good run and you 're already very long them.

• 01:05

  So the question might arise, is now the right time to be doubling down?

• 01:09

  Actually, I think the companies you mentioned are very cheap stocks today.
