He also got a lot of things right, much better than I can say about my trades.

Facebook since Dec 31 ...... +3%
Netflix since Dec 31 .......... +35%
Walmart since Dec 31 ........ +3%
Home Depot since Dec 31 ... +7%
Microsoft since Dec 31 ....... +17%
Google since Dec 31 .......... +3%
Visa since Dec 31 .............. -1.6%
Mastercard since Dec 31 ..... -5.6%
His beloved Coke since Dec 31.... -20%
Berkshire (a or b) since Dec 31 ... -22%
No wonder he's not a happy camper.
(Side note: I guess the 30 million people unemployed are still buying expensive Apple products, but are no longer buying Coke. Lol.)

Another way to look at things, from a trader's perspective:
AAPL since March 20 ... +38%
FB since March 20 ... +50%
GOOGL since March 20 ... +31%
MSFT since March 20 ... +36%
BRK since March 20 ... +10%
Another way to look at things from an investor's perspective:
1. First quarter unemployment ~15%
2. First quarter GDP drop ... -4.8%
So, the economy is not as bad as the unemployment number, or as the press has being saying. Maybe that is why SPY only dropped -10% from Dec 31.
