Einhorn told his investors in August that he had bought a stake in Twitter, and now said he believes the lawsuit in Delaware that could decide the fate of the deal "is going well for TWTR." Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com RegisterEarlier this month, Musk reversed course again and said he would proceed with the deal on original terms. A Delaware judge ordered a pause to Twitter's lawsuit against Musk, giving the billionaire until Oct. 28 to close the deal. "We expect that one way or another, the deal will close at or near the originally agreed upon price," Greenlight said, referring to the $54.20 price per share the deal was originally proposed. Greenlight's manager said the investment in Twitter is "inherently short-term," adding the hedge fund plans to exit its position upon resolution of the platform sale.
David Einhorn rang the alarm on stocks, inflation, and the Fed's interest-rate hikes. Einhorn warned stubborn inflation could spark a currency or sovereign-bond crisis. He said the Fed seems intent on lowering stock prices as it works to crush inflation, which surged to a 40-year high of 9.1% in June, and remained above 8% in September. "We remain concerned that the current inflation problem could evolve into a currency and/or sovereign debt crisis," Einhorn said. Einhorn has previously said US investors face an economic downturn, stubborn inflation, and the growing risk of a global financial meltdown.

Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn, who is crushing the market with double-digit returns this year, is selling stocks as the Federal Reserve continues to deflate the market with aggressive rate hikes. However, higher interest rates also discourage investments and in turn crunch supply, which is most evident in the housing market. "The most glaring area might be in housing, where higher rates lead to reduced supply despite widespread shortage," Einhorn said. That compares with a 23.9% decline for the S & P 500 during the same period as the benchmark tumbled into a bear market. Further, high short-term interest rates provide competition for gold," Einhorn said.
David Einhorn said the US economy is slowing down and inflation is here to stay. Einhorn pointed to red flags in global bond markets and warned a disaster may be coming. Einhorn also bemoaned a widespread decline in value investing, which centers on identifying undervalued companies based on their fundamentals. The combination of heady valuations, stubborn inflation, rising interest rates, and large amounts of debt could reveal cracks in the global financial system, Einhorn said. "When you have a down cycle is when these things tend to metastasize."
It's a tense time for many insiders at Credit Suisse. One person told me it's a case of "rinse and repeat," as Credit Suisse undergoes its second strategic review in less than a year. Law firm sued Credit Suisse over claims it misled investors on business dealings related to Russian oligarchs. Among the plans reported to be under consideration are a three-way split of the investment bank, according to the Financial Times. Under Chief Executive Ulrich Körner, Credit Suisse wants to transform its investment bank into a "capital-light, advisory-led banking business."
The Federal Reserve — for reasons ranging from a fragile job market to the government's debt — can't aggressively shake higher prices out of the system. So it kept interest rates at 0% to spur financial activity and growth. Chairman Jerome Powell and his band have been raising interest rates fairly quickly, but the main Fed interest rate is still just 2.5%. It's a limbo of stubbornly high inflation and higher interest rates. If Einhorn, Bianchi, and Melosi are right, we could be in economic limbo of stubbornly high inflation and higher interest rates for a while.
Fears of a recession intensified even more after data showed the economy shrank for a second straight quarter, making a strong case for defensive stocks for investors worried about slowing growth. Defensive stocks tend to provide stable earnings and consistent dividends regardless of the state of the overall stock market and the economy. They are often well-established companies in sectors like consumer staples, health care and utilities, such as Procter & Gamble , Johnson & Johnson and Coca-Cola . Berkshire also owns relatively small stakes in Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson at the end of March. Major pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies are also considered defensive stocks.
