Listening to this in Dec 2022. He should have won an Oscar that year.

@seanhoad2301

Thank god he didn't post this on Reddit! The SEC would have been all over him lol

@Olivercats189

This hits different knowing he profited massively over this

@fearsomebunny

7 days later.  March 25th 2020 UPDATE!  Ackman buys hedges for $27m.  Closes them for $2.6B and buys more stocks".  Wow.  This guy.  Y'all taking notes?

@rdubitsk

Shut down everything. Except chipotle.

@TrionityIr

It was surreal watching this live. I thought he was going to breakdown and cry.

@IrelandVonVicious

Stop saving people who over leverage for years.
Bailing them out is theft.

@6600richie

He seemed more concerned about the economic depression that was coming anyway.  10 months later and it turns out he was shorting all the companies he cheered into shutdown.

@Mattiedamacdaddy

And then he scooped up all the stocks after he fear mongered for 13 mins.

@drewsmith5656

8:55 Look at the stock price of Hilton when he said he’s buying it.

@walkerb1734

Great job CNBC host!   Much less interruption of the guest.  Keep it up!

@ByGraceThroughFaith777

Bill "I had a dream" Ackman is buying like crazy right now.

@MySinMusic

Finally someone who's done his homework, did the math and is not afraid to say the truth.

@TheRealHumanCalculator

“You order in chipotle” OKAAAAYYY DUUUUUDE LMAO shameless

@infinteuniverse

Yes!! Freeze the economy for 30 days. Don't charge for anything until this blows over, no mortgages, rents, monthly payments... etc. It's the best way. Why is everyone criticizing him? The alternative is the economy gets reset and EVERYONE starts on equal footing and you'll see the worst of people. You guys act like he's asking to keep society on permanent welfare.

@Financialturmoilexplained

new information  50-75% of the infected are asymptomatic . a study from italy . most likely not peer reviewed yet - but illustrates how the only way we get free from this is ( herd immunity) . you shut the county down for a month and all it would take is one infected person to get the virus started all over again ..besides that with so many asymptomatic the virus could be far more progressed then we give it credit for . it could have infected millions already

@investary0

bill ackman triggered the first circuit breaker!!

@benjaminmaracek535

Bill Ackman’s nightmare was line-for-line the Jude Law “Teach them what an Ro Of 2 really means” scene from 2011’s “Contagion”

@rpgeek22

Surprised we couldn't hear his keyboard typing from all the short positions he was buying while saying this.

@xdgs567z

You could hear the fearmongering in his talk and while behind the scenes he is making billions
