What changed

We are not running two books. We split research from execution.

1Ackman / Pershing Square processQuality checklist (durable business, not zero overnight)
2all-in filterWhether to buy, one name, support + catalyst, sell +20–30%

Pershing Q1 2026 13F (~$13.7B, filed 2026-05-15) is a hunting ground, not a shopping list. BN / AMZN / UBER / MSFT / QSR / META / HHH stay as quality examples. They do not get bought because they are on the 13F.

What we will not do again

  • Three names at once
  • 3–12 month “fair value” holds
  • BUY because Ackman added
  • Skip “don’t chase” because the name is “high quality”

MSFT +30% was an early quality name with weeks to the Q. AMZN +11% on the same Ackman hold did not hit the swing target. all-in still exits the winner and does not wait a year for the laggard.
