At this point you would be better off riding aboard the Titanic than holding Valeant Pharmaceuticals stock, at least according to short seller Andrew Left. Left, who was first to put a spotlight Valeant's accounting improprieties last fall, is once again going short on the Canadian drugmaker, Left said in a phone interview with Real Money. 'I think its obvious its a zero now,' Left said, emphasizing that Sequoia's decision to sell its remaining stake in Valeant on Tuesday is a clear indicator there are more problems at Valeant. 'The fact that they're selling tells everything' Left added, sending Valeant shares into a tailspin following the publication of his position.
