Under the radar/connecting the dots:
- roll-back of Dodd-Frank; big win for big banks
- Buffett buys Bnnk of New York Mellon
- Buffett's largest holding: AAPL
- Apple, Inc, hires Bank of New York Mellon to protect its cash assets in Ireland
- Buffett buys BK back in September, 2017; Congress starts rolling back Dodd-Frank in early 2018
- Buffett really, really smart? was this the reason he Wells Fargo -- knowing that Dodd-Frank was going to be rolled back
- Buffett's hand in lobbying Congress on this one?
- Buffett just lucky?
