Overview

Bill Ackman, the founder and CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, has an impeccable record, as his firm has outperformed the S&P 500 over the past couple of decades. That's why every move he and his team make is carefully scrutinized. And during the second quarter, Pershing Square Capital Management made several noteworthy stock purchases.

Should investors follow Ackman's lead and load up on these stocks on the dip?
