Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
The short time I have been around Mr. Gundlach tells me he is probably brilliant and probably a good fixed-income manager. But that short time also indicates a very, very short fuse, an incredibly expansive ego, and a take-no-prisoners attitude toward others. Not someone with whom I would want to spend my working life, for sure. We may never know the real story of how DoubleLine came to life, but it would seem very difficult to start a new company from day one that gathered business as quickly as DL did without some "help".
