On how much money he spent buying stocks yesterday:

A little over $200m. About four different companies.

I found this odd. I didn't think he was an active trader and instead put substantial amounts of money into just a few projects.

It's impossible to buy a billion dollars of any stock in a day without affecting price. His portfolio is so large it probably takes months for him to build a position. Occasionally he's given opportunities to buy a large block from a big shareholder, but otherwise he's probably stuck just going bit by bit in the market.
