After praising the dynamic business of NOMAD FOODS LTD (OTC: NOMHF), Ackman added that he likes what he sees from the management at Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR).On the topic of China, Ackman said that the current environment is worse than the U.S. environment in 2007, but added that “long term, I think it’s a great story.”
Ackman named mortgage lenders Fannie Mae (Federal National Mortgage Assctn Fnni Me (OTC: FNMA)) and Freddie Mac (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp (OTC: FMCC)) as his two most “interesting” investments.
