- Stan Druckenmiller almost never tweets, fewer than 5 times in his life. Today, he's making clear his opposition to the administration's tariff plan.Replying to @markminerviniI do not support tariffs exceeding 10% which I made abundantly clear in the interview you cite
- ‘It was always, “A guy called me up, a friend of mine from blah, blah, blah.” That’s when my anxiety started to escalate.’ nytimes.com/2021/01/24/hea…
- Stanley Druckenmiller at Grant’s conference: “Bipartisan fiscal recklessness is on the horizon.” He’s short bonds; equivalent of 15-20% of his portfolio. “George would be embarrassed of me” for not making it a bigger bet.
- Replying to @rebeccaballhausWhen I was struggling in math, I kept telling teachers to stop testing me
- “As long as Xi Jinping is running China I have no interest” in investing in country, Druckenmiller says, despite recent rally and excitement from Tepper, others. Druckenmiller says he “loves” Japan and Argentina has a “brilliant leader” and is a “great investment opportunity.”
- Fine, Hertz down 10%, but Chesapeake up 15%--that's why you diversify among bankrupt/near-bankrupt companies.
- Pretty shocking that Peter Brown of Renaissance did this podcast. Super secretive firm, NDAs as thick as an old phone book. I once approached Brown at a public event and he turned white with fear.
- Feel privileged to have spent 3.5 hours with Charlie Munger in September for a book. He was witty, funny, sharp as ever, full of insights and stories. And in great spirits. A great investor and wonderful man. RIP.
- Dow is up 8.15% since Election Day, on pace for best performance from Election Day to year end since Herbert Hoover was elected 1928
- Renaissance Technologies finishes up a solid, if unspectacular year. Medallion, managing abt $12 billion, up about 30%. RIEF and RIDA up about 25%. The quant firm's core signals continue to work. Jim Simons would be proud.
- David Tepper, David Einhorn and Alan Howard are three of the most successful investors of their generation. Their key funds gained 8%, 7.2% and 4.7% last year. Makes you feel better about your year, right?
- NEW: Jim Simons's Medallion fund rises 24% this year (39% before fees) as March surge puts legendary fund on pace for one of its best years ever.
