blainehodder Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Interesting that Burry and Loeb both used to post on SI. Take a look at Loeb's posts: http://www.siliconinvestor.com/profile.aspx?userid=1397374 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matts Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Why is Chapman making personal attacks at Leob? could someone please summarize the background, if any? Chapman is pretty harsh in his dealings with management as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmichaud Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Robert Champman is a complete clown - vomiting forth his opinion on other managers every chance he gets. Funny how you don't see anyone worth their salt quoted in articles on other managers..... Two complete B/S quotes by Chapman: I don't think anyone's ever said Dan's a really brilliant guy, but this is what the hedge-fund world allows you to be if you're massively ambitious and you're kind of really, really, really focused. You'll probably get there. If I had to guess, he sees himself as a phenomenal filterer of other people's ideas, and maybe that's the source of a behavior normally attendant on someone hopelessly insecure. A) You do not build a $14B hedge fund by simply being "smart" B) Last I checked, Yahoo!, Sony and Nokia were not being touted by a wide swath of investors before he got in. Of course every single stock traded is "someone's" idea at some point in time.... Another line in the article (not related to Chapman) said Loeb's goal is reportedly to manage $40B.....he just returned $1.4 to investors. All in all, a rather sketchy article.
