Sanrith Descartes I see Berkshire Hathaway as an example of a company that comes out of this stronger than it went in.
DOW up about 300 since the address started.
On the heals of a quick drop, but yeah, can't deny it.
He's lost less than others, but he's taking a beating like a lot of people. He's been moving to a slightly more conservative position for a while, which has been a reason that people have been making fun of him in the past year. Probably won't be saying that next year.Yeah because Mr. Buffet is going to be making some obscene plays through all of this. This is the kind of situation where he historically excels.
S&P Futures hit limit up this morning (5%). Large gap up is not usually helpful, as people at the open are too skittish to buy 5% up from the close so it usually ends up spending the day fading the move. If we somehow see strong buying at the open it would be telling.
If the market can close the week back above the 200 wk moving average (currently 2638.87 on the S&P) would be a good signal for an attempt at establishing a bottom again. Each of the previous support levels we have tried this and failed. At some level it will hold, this support line has been important since 2009 so I'm sure it is going to give a strong go at it.
I bought 295 shares of AMD @ 40.65 this morning, just sold it at $42.50 because I'm too scared to hold that over the weekend. Goes up another $1 in the 3 minutes before close.
I'm still all in on AMD, still have all the shares from when I bought in at $3.Was gonna ask how you played it. Dont' sweat it too much. AMD does its own thing, too.
Buffett has more money socked away than most countries. I just don't know what he is gonna do with it.Sanrith Descartes I see Berkshire Hathaway as an example of a company that comes out of this stronger than it went in.
It's really, really hard to consistently outperform the SP500Buffett has more money socked away than most countries. I just don't know what he is gonna do with it.
I read an analysis that said his years of great returns were due to leverage and loans and in the last 5 or 10 years he has underperformed the SP500. I was too lazy to research it for validity so take it for what its worth.
Look at Bershire versus the SP500 since its inception. It was mind numbing how much better it did year after year. And then the last decade it became human. That early period is where he earned his diety status.It's really, really hard to consistently outperform the SP500
I was sorta shocked he didn't lay down some scratch for BA yesterday. Has a moat and strong balance sheet and the Govt won't let it fail. It has warts but that is why it is on the clearance rack.He is on the phone with companies right now, his 125 billion in cash is going to be buying out failing companies. This shit is going to get bad and he is going to be cashing in.
