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...

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

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.

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.

Another great video. Keep up the good work!

"In a Crises there's always an opportunity"

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

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

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.

Love Bill Ackman. Can we get a Cathie Woods’ video next? Those two are my favorites. Lol

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

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

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 !!!

'HELL IS COMING!'

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...

I swear, chipotle is not healthy at all lol.

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.

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

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

Anyone else notice the poll only had 3 votes?

Hello, are you selling promotions on your channel?

Morning everyone 😊

He was not wrong about the Pamdemic.. he did not estimate government intervention at this level.

Ackman was hysterical.

Good video

hence JC "Penny" Stock

What the hell are credit default swaps?

Damn he was fucking prophetic, nearly to a tee.

Ackman the blood merchant

I hope he gave CNBC their 10% cut. I swear it's like CNBC what's to see every company fail.

Rich getting richer ... But with an explanation

Genius... ackman

I have a doubt, he bought CDS against US corporate bonds in his companies holding and that holdings belong to his clients so how he personally enjoyed benefit from CDS? The CDS belongs to his clients holdings so the profit should be of clients right?

thats nothing, in Malaysia someone got 2.6 billion in "charity"

he was a little too on point if you ask me

Bobby Axelrod character is made of this guy. Go watch Billions now :) This guy is a legend, he may be scumbag but when it comes to money... this guy is factory of it

lol, he called himself an optimist...

Ackman initiated his short position with Herbalife prior to 2014.

13:39 *outbreak.

OG

PSTH go brrrrr

His powers of 2.5 are pathetic, he used powers of 2 instead. He should have said 1 infected becomes 3.5 (the original 1 plus 2.5 more)....

this was also the guy that lost 4 billion in valeant he bought options in the largest bull market ever thats all he did

Y'all are a bunch of Jelly Doughnuts.

I don't think he was fear mongering when he presented his thesis on what could happen early on in the pandemic, but I do think he could've put more emphasis on "HTL is going to zero" being more of a hypothetical if the government decided to do nothing in the case of the pandemic. I think he had a good understanding of what was about to happen based on all of the information coming out of china when the virus broke and exactly how it was gonna affect the world and because he understood the information he ended up being right. He did his DD that's all.

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

OMG PEOPLE ARE GONNA DIE IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!!!! $$$$$ ;) - Bill Ackman

No one can beat Index , all is illusion

Negative performance was the scam and accusation he made about Herbalife.

Lol Starbucks failed in Australia *if you’re wondering why I’m talking about Starbucks, watch the whole video

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

He wasn't wrong about herbalife. The company had to pay a $200 million fine and change its business model a few years back.

that sounds sus

If SEC was competent Herbalife would have been shut down. I think they were paid off.

Gambling is WAY more profitable than any type of real work!

Bill is a walking bear lol I think Bill is a smart guy but what I hate about the way he makes his money is by spreading fear and forcing the price to go down by fear and that's just low.

So hilton stock is almost as high pre-pandemic but the industry is working at 52% capacity.

Ackman predicted millions worldwide would die and we thought he was being hysterical.... He was right.

12min10sec: The biggest potential downfall is that Ackman's portfolio isn't diversified at all. Just looking and it shows that 5 of the 7 stocks he is holding are all in the consumer discretionary sector. Smh...

Ackman on the phone was saying, "My bearish views on the market must become true or else we'll face extreme health & longterm economic consequences from an open economy during a pandemic." Everything he said was accurate. Lockdowns save lives, but hurt the market in the short term.

Nice robot voice.

Well, he might have been accidentally correct, but he also doesn't know what he's talking about. He must really liked the movie Contagion, I do too. Because he's been basically quoting the "journalist" in there, including the *wrong* math. "Journalist" who, btw, is a fake and also doesn't know what he's talking about. Oh the irony....

Funny how other normal people go to jail for market manipulation and this guy get rewarded 2.2 billion

5th

Ackman is nothing special. Its fairly easy when you can bash and dump on a company you are short. He literally runs multi-million dollar campaigns on his short positions. Not sure why that is legal

I cant believe this type of gambling is even allowed to be legal! It's wealth that is totally unearned and void of real work or related in a useful way to anything. It's the height of greed. Sorry...all you greedy people who are rich off math equations! You do nothing to contribute in a healthy way.

What an entity of pure greed
