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:

The only explosion of greatness that is happening took place in the green room between Tepper and Stephanie Ruhle.
Yep. Tepper's game was on point and Ruhle was loving it
great post!
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.
Damn, she saw that $100MM receipt in the Hamptons, and now she wants the D.
"you know why you won't work at Mcdonald's? It's because you're fan-cy." Cracked me up. Good find Eddie.
Hilarious.
He is the perfect foil of zerohedge
Twice as optimistic, 100x as charming
Did Rhule just tell him he could take off his clothes? I new she was dirty!
I'd lose so much respect for this man if he didn't get it in after this filming. She was so wet she was practically sliding out of her seat the whole interview.

Tepper better have hit that.
This man is an absolute bro
Tepper just got rocked in the last 8 hours by Ford, Apple, and in the morning... Nasdaq
Tepper is such a bro. The sexual tension was palpable. Hope he took he took care of business.
I'm not sure what I just watched. This looked like an extended intro for medium-core porn.
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
Cut that sexual tension with a knife, jesus.. she is a smoke though, so can't hate on her at all.
