>Kraft Heinz
Super off topic but why the heck is Heinz losing so much value?

You got me curious as well. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/24/business/kraft-heinz-food... lists a boatload of issues.

That is just sad. Both of those were staples of childhood...
td;lr - Both kraft & heinz were slammed together by a company that bought them both out and then forced them to cut a ton of costs. As it turns out, you can't just cut costs and expect to grow and prosper as the market changes around you.
PS - in the article they mention they took away the free office snacks. Taking away perks like that is always a sign that you should head for the exits...

Crazy. Buffett lost a lot of money over that.

I have to pause each time and re-engage my brain to realize he is talking about the company and not himself.
I'm significantly enjoying the level to which this fiasco has made investors look like dolts. One can only hope that it does something to pierce the narrative about the possession of capital making people visionary
