  2. Good read, however Absolutely nothing that everyone doesn’t already know and factored in.

    People need to stop trying to make sense of it and just look at a chart of the Fed balance sheet overlaid with the S&P.

    All will be clear

  3. He sold the bottom and missed everything.

    Probably about time, that i stoped listening to him.
    One should be able, at the very least, very least, to make 20% since march lows.
    (for their size and approach, 5% would have been reasonable)

    Good guy tho, but eventually, speaking in riddles, brings no more value.
    Man should be like :
    ,,You had to buy into 2016 res and hedge, that's it, the end of memo'' (laughs)

    At the bottom, FB was at $140, PE 20, ABBV was at $65 PE of 11, dividend yield of 7.5%, BA at $90 and BRK was trading below book value.... yet few bought?

    Buffett, he was supposed to buy BRK when it was < 1.1-1.2 of book?

  7. The problem was that “the bottom” lasted about 5 minutes then we were up 10% on S&P the next day and never looked back

    True, difficult to catch the bottom but what about somewhere near the bottom on the way up?
     
  9. For individual investors yes, but how much could a large fund or Buffet buy even if they started buying hand over fist on March 23rd?
    At best a few % of a mid to large company before they were driving it up on themselves??
