Fed Chair Powell Indicates He’ll Keep Bolstering Growth in Public Debut

lol could you imagine?

I guess i should clarify it's Berkshire Hathaway. But i love how they own $7 million worth of UPS and it accounts for 0% of their portfolio when rounded.

He missed out on apple. He's only bought that since 2016 or so. They used to not pay a dividend i think that's why he stayed away..

Market looking shaky here, do we bounce tomorrow or continue to crash?

We'll see if Powell can keep his mouth shut.

Still holding TVIX, looking at SDOW. Need this market to bounce just a little higher so I can get out of BABA and JD at higher profits, before I go short

How much did he end up losing

How much did he end up losing

I can't say an exact amount but his returns have been:

"His firm returned -20.5% in 2015, -13.5% in 2016, and -4% in 2017"


He lost a ton of money on Valeant Pharma too. Like billions of dollars on it.
