Did we just witness “an epic signal of a blow-off top”… ?
Yes, says Gary Evans of the Global Macro Monitor blog, who pointed to the recent action on Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy’s Twitter feed as the reason why.
On Monday, Portnoy slammed Berkshire Hathaway’s BRK.A, -2.53% Warren Buffett for unloading airline stocks as the coronavirus epidemic took its toll. He also went off on how he made almost $300,000 on the day but missed out on an even bigger number by getting out too soon.
“I’m just printing money,” Portnoy said. “Why take profits when every airline goes up 20% every day. Losers take profits. Winners push the chips to the middle… I should be up a billion dollars.”
Watch the clip:
Evans compared Portnoy’s rant Monday to one of the most-quoted market top signals in history.
Back in the fall of 1929, Yale economist Irving Fisher famously said “Stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau.” We all know what happened in October of that year.
“Frame it,” Evans said of Portnoy’s take. “Then run like hell.”
After Portnoy’s tweet spread across Finance Twitter TWTR, -1.97% , he doubled down on his Buffett-bashing on Tuesday, calling him a “washed up” investor who’s no longer relevant.
“I’m not saying I had a better career… He’s one of the best ever to do it,” he said. “I’m the new breed. I’m the new generation. There’s nobody who can argue that Warren Buffett is better at the stock market than I am right now. I’m better than he is. That’s a fact.”

Meanwhile, the stock market is taking a breather on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s DJIA, -1.09% six-day winning streak at risk. The S&P 500 SPX, -0.78% was also lower while the tech-heavy Nasdaq COMP, 0.29% managed to break into positive territory.
Editor's Note: Radical new battery could dismantle $75 TRILLION oil markets
Check out this incredible demo.
It’s pretty crazy stuff.
It’s of a mind-blowing new type of battery insiders are calling a “paradigm shift” in energy technology…
Even going so far as to call it the “Quantum Battery” because the properties it exhibits are so miraculous.
In fact, it’s proven to be such a game-changing force that some of the most powerful oil and gas corporations in the world are terrified of this breakthrough and what it’s going to do to disrupt their industry.
To them, the writing is on the wall.
It’s either embrace this new technology or become obsolete.
The U.S. Department of Energy has already classified this innovation as a “critical need” for the mass adoption of electric vehicles — as it finally promises to dramatically reduce our reliance on foreign oil.
At the heart of this revolution, one tiny company — less than 1/1000th the size of General Motors — is gearing up to drive the commercialization of this technology…
Folks who get in on this breakthrough now, BEFORE it’s rolled out on a mass scale, will have the chance to be a part of the single largest legal creation of wealth of the last 25 years…
