Obama must be shitting himself.
Must be nice...
This guy just replaced McGoldrick as my hero.
Has this guy done anything since 2007?
All I've seen are guys leaving his new firm. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/blogs/streetwise/omers-lands-real-estate…
What a role model
The thing is, I don't think Tepper is going to take the gold this year. Does anyone have the top performers list for this year? How did Soros, Tudor, Moore, Ren Tech, Paulson, Third Point, etcetera do?
holy shit. still nothing beats Kenneth Griffin taking home over a billion after losing half his fund. where on earth can you get a compensation agreement like that?
Griffin didn't have any watermarks? I'm pretty sure that he was down ~60% last year and has barely made that up so far this year...
i read the article sounded like a dumb bull / pure luck

This is an older post (and about Delphi...which didn't turn out too well), but interesting thoughts on Tepper.
David Tepper is not a one trick pony that's for damn sure...
Great read there Pink Monkey.
What are you thoughts on managers who move from a pure-strategy to become huge multi-strat funds like all the GSPS alumn have done (except maybe for Lampert, who hasn't done so hot lately)? As awesome is Tepper is at what he does, it seems like one can move around the event-driven spectrum a fair deal without sacrificing returns.
Not sure if you follow SHLD but they killed the street estimates and is hovering around 100 now having recovered from the 30s earlier last year. I'm sure Eddie's still hurting (he was buying back tons of shares at 130) but it seems like Lampert is finally starting delivering results...
That's good to hear. It seemed that he was having trouble before the rest of Sreet was and considering how bad he got creamed Sep.-Dec. '08, that recovery makes sense.
Griffin shouldnt be making any performance fees this year since he dropped 50% last year...50% down followed by 60% up still leaves you 20% below your original high water mark.
On the performance numbers of the big funds above, I know that both Moore and Tudor were up about 20% this year...however neither of those funds lost any money last year. Brevan Howard also had a good year, probably +25%ish. Do not know the exact returns of Ren Tech and Paulson off the top of my head but they both did well.
Some numbers courtesy of DB. Like Bondarb pointed out, Griffin killed in this year, but that's only after he bailed big time last year... should still be below HWM... i think that's also the case for a couple of other guys, but Citadel was probably the most extreme out of all of them...Stevie Cohen is killing it as usual. Last time i calculated his returns, he had 35% NET CAGR even after paying 3/50.

Paulson & Co all the way!!
Who gives a shit about what they do this year. Thats 2 point fucking 5 billion. He could shred 10 mil each year just for fun and still be rich as fuck.
Is that $2.5 billion his take home pay in cash, before taxes? Appaloosa is a private firm, so obviously there's no stock compensation. Most likely, much of that money will be reinvested in the fund, so he won't have access to most of that cash.
