Tepper’s bio has him w/ a degree in econ + experience as a successful fund manager. Another plus is I don’t see any crap about Nobel Prizes or teaching at Princeton...
Just from reading his wiki rundown he is someone I respect. I always get sick when I see the wiki on a politician and he has a law degree which is 90% of the time. Law is their step towards a life of slick deceiving BS. Being a master of wordsmanship .. at least enough of a master to pull in the low information voters. I am thinking about going libertarian. As in “When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What’s Still Around”.
Guy is a really really good investor (full disclosure - Appaloosa is one of my company’s top 10 shareholders - we have never talked to Tepper though)
