1) I think Bill Ackman is 100% correct in this tweet in which he lays out the case for the Fed to, in a "temporary pause," not raise rates tomorrow: 2) Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk responded to Ackman with this tweet: A friend's (likely spot-on) take: "Hey, now we know Tesla's Q1 results are […]

1) The banking "crisis" continues to dominate the headlines... I use quotes around the word crisis because the contagion that's happening here is one of the most irrational things I've ever seen in the markets. THERE IS NO CRISIS! In total contrast to 2008, our banking system is strong, healthy, and well capitalized. A tiny […]

1) I think my friend Doug Kass of Seabreeze Partners is right that the largest tech companies and banks will be the biggest beneficiaries of the recent turmoil in the markets. In yesterday's missive, he wrote: Consider This Form Factor: The Biggest Will Be the Winningest Mine is a simple investment strategy that may fit […]

The primary reason I've been to Ukraine twice in the past month is for humanitarian reasons. To alleviate the suffering that Russia's unprovoked, horrific attack has caused, I (with the generous support of hundreds of family members, friends, and readers) have purchased and delivered: 11 ambulances, with 15 more ordered and paid for (total cost: […]

1) In yesterday's e-mail, after discussing the banking crisis, I concluded that "the entire banking sector is taking a hit... so I think it's time to start looking for babies thrown out with the bathwater," and mentioned Wells Fargo (WFC) and First Republic Bank (FRC), writing: A higher-risk, higher-reward idea I'm exploring is First Republic, […]

1) I just got back from a week traveling 1,600 miles all over Ukraine (more on this below and in future e-mails). Did I miss anything? I'm kidding, of course... Unlike when, for example, I was in Antarctica or hiking in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California, I had excellent Internet coverage – both on […]

1) I recently came across an article, This janitor in Vermont amassed an $8M fortune without anyone around him knowing, about how when Ronald Read, a retired gas station attendant and janitor in Vermont, died in 2015, his friends and family were shocked to learn that his estate was worth $8 million! Did Read win […]

1) Here's a good piece of investigative journalism by the Wall Street Journal... I'm shocked – shocked, I tell ya! – by this... (NOT!) Crypto Companies Behind Tether Used Falsified Documents and Shell Companies to Get Bank Accounts. Excerpt: In late 2018, the companies behind the most widely traded cryptocurrency were struggling to maintain their […]

1) Picking up where I left off in yesterday's e-mail about how to get a job in money management, I want to share how to actually gain the attention of a senior person who has the power to offer you a job, rather than the traditional – and likely unfruitful – approach of going through […]

1) In yesterday's e-mail, I addressed the question I often get from young readers: I recently graduated college and would someday like to manage money. I would like to now, but no one will trust some 22-year-old kid, understandably. Could you offer me some advice on this and what you have learned since you began […]

1) You don't have much longer to watch our full investigation into what I've been calling the "1,000% Windfall"... Just recently, I traveled to Sabine Pass, Texas – the potential epicenter of a major shift in the world economy. What I saw there was something very few Americans have ever seen up close and in […]

1) In Monday's and yesterday's e-mails, I analyzed the annual letter from Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B) CEO Warren Buffett and the company's fourth-quarter earnings. Today, I'd like to update my estimate of Berkshire's intrinsic value using the methodology that I've used – and that I think Buffett himself uses – to value Berkshire for more than […]
