As you might remember on Tuesday's Fast Money legendary investor Bill Ackman told the desk about an important conference for investors – one that he was hosting for charity in conjunction with our own Karen Finerman.

(In case you don’t remember - that was when he called a Borders bankruptcy a ‘low probability event’ and in minutes his comments sent Borders shares soaring over 30%! Click here for more on that.)

Well, he invited Fast Money to that very conference -- so we slipped on our best shoes, hopped in a cab and told the driver to get us to the event just as fast as possible.

And you'll be happy we did. At the conference they both revealed some pretty remarkable stuff. And we scribbled down every word. It all follows:

As you might know Ackman holds about 33 million shares of Kraft

[KFT  Loading...      ()   ]; that’s about 2% of the company – in fact, it’s his hedge fund’s single largest investment.

When asked about his newly established position at the conference he replied, "it's our most significant new idea.”

Although Ackman disclosed his position in mid-January he never really talked about why he made the move – that is he never talked about why, until now.

“We think (the acquisition of Cadbury) is a transformational transaction for the company," Ackman said.

"We think that Kraft is interesting on a standalone basis. But we think it's much more interesting when the transaction closes - we think there are margin opportunities in both companies. We think there are cost synergies. And you're paying very little."

In fact he’s so bullish on he merger Ackman said, “Once the transaction's closed, we're gonna tell you --  they're stealing the company."

Interesting stuff, huh? Well there’s more.

Our own Chairwoman, Karen Finerman also revealed her ‘favorite new long idea.’

“CVS Caremark

[CVS  Loading...      ()   ],” she said because the merger creates valuations that are just too attractive to pass up.

“You're getting the PBM side of the business for about 7 times earnings,” she said, “and that is just way, way too cheap.

By comparison, “rivals are trading at 22-23 times.”

What the bottom line? “ We believe there's 50% upside from here,” she says.

What do you think? We want to know!
