Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Q2 Letter: No Gold Hedge for Us

Courtesy of Dealbreaker, here's the latest from Bill Ackman's hedge fund, Pershing Square Capital Management. His second quarter correspondence is a bit tardy and he acknowledges that in the letter. Referring to their positions, Ackman discusses Pershing Square's stakes in Target (TGT), EMC (EMC), General Growth Properties (GGWPQ.PK), Automatic Data Processing (ADP), and his return to shares of McDonald's (MCD). He also touches on their short exposure through credit default swaps (CDS) as well as mistakes and missed opportunities regarding their due diligence.

To be sure, at least short-term, headwinds will confront ADP, as monthly job gains are not likely to approximate levels experienced during the initial stage of previous U.S. economic recoveries.

ADP - Adjustment
The following adjustment was made today on Automatic Data Processing (ADP):

08-Sep-09 - Option Exercised - EX 1 Sep09 37.00 Call @ 37.00 -
10-Sep-09 - CSP Margin Used - CSP 100 ADP @ 37.00 -
10-Sep-09 - Continued Trade - STO 1 Oct09 37.00 Put @ 0.62 -

The Sep09 37.00 Call was exercised early on 9/8 and the stock was called away to capture the dividend. So today I sold the Oct09 37 Put to continue the position as a cash secured put (CSP). My original cost basis remained the same since the cash received from selling the stock equals the cash required to secure the put.
