Activist Investor Dan Loeb Takes 8% Stake in Herbalife


Third Point's Dan Loeb has taken an eight percent stake in nutritional supplements seller Herbalife, according to a regulatory filing.

This disclosure pits Loeb, who successfully took on Yahoo, against Pershing Square's Bill Ackman who shorted more than 20 million shares of Herbalife, calling it a pyramid scheme and suggesting the stock will go to zero.

Loeb's disclosure comes a day before Herbalife will make big investor presentation in New York to respond to Ackman's allegations, which he made in his own lengthy presentation two weeks ago.
