I dont know why everyone seems so shocked. This isnt the first time he's admitted to this. In each of his books he discusses the "old days" in some
detail. He mentions it with a wink fairly regulary on his show. All of the big fund managers do it. The more positions you control the more people you
can control. Dump a chunk and the idiot home investors start freaking out about a "big sell off", something he warns people about all the time on
his show and in his books. He constantly tells people not to get their investing ideas from stories about the companies but rather follow sectors and
trends and stick to hard numbers like earnings and debt than public hype. And never, ever, ever panic when you see an investment going down for what
seems like no reason whatsover because chances are, theres is no reason whatsoever outside of some manager trying to shift a price.
