Will Jeffrey Gundlach's Trump-Like Approach On Twitter Work In Financial Services?
I think it's farcical and makes him look like a Trump-wannabe, yes. While perhaps acceptable to him in cultivating his image, were I an investor I am always leery of fund managers who work so hard on their PR 'rock star' status and media 'optics' and, performance issues aside, I would be hesitant to throw much if any $$$ at his funds. I like my investments and investment managers to be underspoken and fairly boring. The louder and more brashly unfiltered one talks, the less I tend to listen.
Doing pre-emptive attacks on articles that one simply disagrees with isTrump-like, thin-skinned, and pathetic. Frankly, even without the Trump reference in this story, I think it's thin-skinned & pathetic.
Wish he spend his time focus on running the DoubleLine funds instead. Bill Gross went down that path and his funds lagged badly before his departure from Pimco. The flagship fund, Total Return fund, is only performing so so this year.
"DoubleLine is a very unique firm that is independent and privately held, and Jeffrey is his own man and he speaks his mind," said Loren Fleckenstein, DoubleLine analyst and spokesman.
Just the phrase "very unique" here speaks volumes about arrogance and ignorance.
