I see the rising interest rate as a very big problem, as more investors will definitely pull out more money from the Stock market. This might have worked when I was still invest-ing with a couple thousand dollars, but it is more difficult now to decide whether to pull out more than $365k from my port-folio. I know some inves-tors still make that despite the strong bear market. In wish I could pull that feat

[samuellambert]

ingoring his stock and swap positions, he was pretty spot on about the scale of the implications of the virus back then. Easy to see now, but he did say it back then.

When the market fell in 2020, I had an option to throw funds in my portfolio or buy my first house. I chose the house and I regret it everyday lol

Show me an instance of mass fear and panic where someone hasn't profited off of it...

[mihakanzyani]

Ackman is one of the shadiest characters ever. And that's not an easy task to achieve in the Wallstreet company.

Pfft haha, who paid a hedge fund manager to just invest in berkshire who is themselves a holding company. Thats like paying a consultant to ask another consultant what to do.

I think at the time, his thesis did seem like fear mongering, but looking back, his concerns were completely valid and it's terrible how "downplayed" the pandemic is in the US. It's kind of like everyone bagging on Michael Burry for housing short position in 2007...

Once you have plant the idea to a person's mind even if they doubt that sht, it's still on their subconscious will definitely affect their decision making

It wasn't "a 27m bet as media are claiming", he went into a 3 year long contract that costs 27m a month so a contract of 27m*12*3 +- a position of +-1B. So he took on a position of that size where he only needed to pay 27m every month for. When the bonds crashed his position became worth a multiple of the price bought at that time he cleared his position and collected his profit.

So yes he only paid 27M, but it's wrong to claim it was just a 27m bet as he went into a longer contract.

From listening his interview, I think he actually had a good understanding of what this pandemic is and how it affects the population and different countries, I don't think he was fear mongering but speaking the knowledge he has.

[LouWillx]

He GASSED it, wish I knew more about the stock market back then but I’m fully prepared for the future and i just keep gearing up !!!

8:00 Ackman’s analysis here was spot on.

[marksoberay]

He's right, the damage ftom the "repairs" to the economy are far from over

[Ravakeksis]

and that's why you always need to be mindful which "analysts" you listen to

[lishing]

he was pretty accurate with the corona virus. we're are 600k right now. in terms of hotels, we'll have to see if he's correct. they all might need some type of bailout

[jmano]

Another great video. Keep up the good work!

[croact]

I mean he was 100% right. He made more sense than nearly anyone at that time

[mikepostle]

Idk why people are beeing delusional. He just described 2020-2021 with about everything right and people are calling him out cause he saved and won money on it

[chuckcrizer]

CNBC had a financial interest in spreading fear. Aikman is perfect as a spreader of fear.
