。Activist investor Bill Ackman said he has made a “recovery bet” on the economy, investing $2.5 billion in a little over a week and half in equities, including upping his positions in several of his portfolio companies and reinvesting in others like Starbucks Corp. The billionaire investor said he has taken off all the hedges that he put in place for his Pershing Square Capital Management, through shorts in the credit market. Those hedges were put in place to offset the effects of the coronavirus, he said. Ackman said his hedge fund has used the proceeds to reinvest over the past 10 to 12 days in several of his portfolio companies, including Lowe’s Cos., Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. and Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. “That’s about the most bullish thing we’ve done,” he said in a Bloomberg TV interview. “We are all long. No shorts, you know, betting on the country.”---Bloomberg
。Appaloosa Management founder and Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper warns investors who are still desperately trying to catch a falling knife that he doesn't expect the carnage to end anytime soon. Speaking with CNBC's Scott Wapner on Monday, he warned that the market could fall another 10% to 15%. ---ZeroHedge
。The International Monetary Fund said it expects a global recession this year that will be at least as bad as the downturn during the financial crisis more than a decade ago, followed by a recovery in 2021. ---Bloomberg
。The Fed unveiled its ultimate bazooka today - unlimited buying of pretty much any- and every-thing until this all calms down. The problem is - it didn't reassure investors as they've had 10 years of knowing that whatever The Fed 'creates' is simply money-printed delusion that does not reflect any real economic progress. Precious metal's had their best day since The Fed expanded QE1 in March 2009. Gold closed up 77.10 (+5.10%) to 1561.40. Silver closed up 0.90 (+7.39%) to 13.29. ---ZeroHedge
。According to Kitco, silver sales are skyrocketing: “Data from the U.S. Mint shows that it has sold 2.32 million one-ounce silver coins so far this month, up significantly from February sales of 650,000 coins.” And based on wholesale cost over spot price for 1 oz bullion American Eagles, premiums for physical products are soaring higher. Gold is selling at about a 6% premium and silver is selling at an 86% premium. Both of these figures are well over their averages from earlier in the year. Brandon Smith of Alt-Market.com argues, “Crash conditions will likely inspire more and more people to demand physical delivery on precious metals over the course of 2020, as fears of paper market shutdowns due to the pandemic grow.”---ZeroHedge
