"

Bill Gates also advised his dad to sell all his MSFT stock back in the 1980s when it was worth like 20 cents. his dad, realizing his son was an idiot, didn't listen.

you really do not know were he sold his USD. Further may be he advertises his short position so that he can buy his USD even cheaper.

Remember FIdelity Magellan and some of their darling tech stocks?

most likely, Gates & Buffet are looking for counter-parties

they probably shorted the US$ months and months ago
like since 2003

this is an old Soros trick

Gates is brilliant in software theft
in design theft
in extortion tactics
he calls it "innovation"

my ass, but he aint dumb
he is probably looking to ferret out some suckers
he is probably covering his shorts here
and will reload later on after the US$ rises to the 200MA
