The bundle equals $10 per month but is available only as an annual plan, with no monthly option or free trial.

- Why Bill Ackman Says He Feels Like “Markets Are Broken” Casinos
On November 3, 2026, Bill Ackman told television that he feels markets are “broken” and resemble casino-type markets with 95% leverage, a figure he presented as his own claim, while arguing the disorder is good for his firm over the long term. He criticized leveraged short-term funds and perpetual futures on individual stocks, which he said contribute to large price moves. Pershing Square's third-quarter letter, dated November 2, blamed volatility on a reduced float from indexation. Ackman is most bullish on Visa, Mastercard and Netflix, and Netflix closed at $63.42, near its $61.39 low. PS's third-quarter revenue of $56.604 million missed the $75.474 million estimate, with no performance fees.
