David Tepper Gives Hilarious, Optimistic Outlook

Appaloosa's David Tepper was in rare form during his interview with Bloomberg TV's Stephanie Ruhle yesterday. He comes out of the closet (sorta), lists all the reasons the market is on the verge of an "explosion of greatness", and explains that he'd rather work at McDonald's than on the sell side of Wall Street - even at Goldman Sachs. He even breaks into song at one point, belting out "One Last Kiss" from Bye Bye Birdie, all while Ruhle struggles mightily to keep him focused. I'm thinking two, maybe three martinis at lunch before the interview. Enjoy:

 
ZenMaster:
Anyone else find Stephanie Ruhle kinda sexy?

Edit: 100%.

When he starts talking about CMBS, did Tepper say they have one of the biggest CMBS books on the street "right meow" ...?

If the US markets end 2013 higher than they started it, I'll eat my hat. Lots of people out there that predicted some big crashes very succcessfully are saying the same thing again. US will dip with the upcoming cuts, the cashflow shortage will reveal China to be the great ponzi in the sky it is, and the demand bubble that china is sustaining for huge numbers of manufacturers in the US/EU will fall off a cliff.

 

Good Lord, if I couldn't see her hands I would have thought she was getting herself off under the table. Geez.

Anyways, she seems more 'horny' and 'dirty' than 'fancy'.

Regards
