Reminds me of how that hedge fund guy got on cnbc during the height of covid and predicted the end of the world. His interview literally pushed then market to one of those emergency stops all while he had his people buying up stocks at discount.

I feel like people who manipulate the market through media to enrich themself should be prosecuted.

Bill Ackman, but stocks were already down 7% that day before he went on CNBC. He basically said the country should stop for 30 days instead of the 18-month half hearted slowdown that would happen with our current approach. He was pretty emotional but his entire point was the country couldn’t withstand half-assed measures for 18 months and we should just rip the bandaid off and stop for a much smaller window.

He also was 3 trading days away from the bottom. Over the next 3 days stocks fell another 5.4% from his CNBC interview and have since more than doubled.

Ackman is pretty hard to blame for the pain that had already happened in the market, even if he was overboard.
