David Einhorn is one of the savviest hedge fund managers in the world. Since founding Greenlight Capital in 1996, Einhorn has achieved annual returns of around twice the market’s return. Einhorn did it by taking less risk than the market too. Because Einhorn’s fund shorts more than the average fund and shorting is hard, Einhorn’s long picks have to do very well to offset the short picks. So without further ado, let’s take a closer look at Einhorn’s top three dividend yield stocks and see how well they performed in the third quarter.
