EPIC ALERT!!
Earlier this week, Jeff Gundlach joined Twitter.
If you haven’t read our account of that “historic milestone” in FinTwit, please do – you owe it to yourself.
To recount, just two posts into his Twitter career, the “bond king” immediately dove down the angry Twitter rant rabbit hole with a series of tweets aimed at debunking what he called “fake news.” As a reminder, this was the 4-tweet tally:
- 2 “fake news”s;
- 2 all-caps “FALSE”s;
- 1 all-caps “WRONG”;
- 9 exclamation points;
- 1 direct personal insult (Crise);
- 1 “incompetent” and;
- 1 derogatory “people”
Then, on the 5th tweet, he tried to upload a profile picture – an effort which produced this hilarious exchange with followers:

Well, fast forward to Thursday and in what we can only assume is another example of Jeff not understanding how shit works on Twitter, Gundlach is incredulous that people set up fake accounts and suspects “competitors” may be involved in a conspiracy to undermine him.
Check this out:
Haters and fakers and maybe even competitors setting up fake Gundlach twitter accounts. No surprise there! This is the real deal. Follow!

Then he goes “full-Twitter-Trump” with these two instant classics:
Looked at Biz Insider coverage of my talk on Monday. Wow. So far off. No point going to BI as a news source. Sad. Used to be OK.

"Winners focus on winning. Losers focus on winners." Mega-losers set up false Twitter accounts. TruthGundlach: The one, the only.

So the 3-tweet Trump-ish tally is:
- 1 “haters”
- 1 “fakers”
- 1 plain old “fake”
- 1 “sad”
- 2 “winners”
- 1 “losers”
- 1 “real deal”
- and 1 reference to himself as “the one, the only”
******
If this is a sign of things to come, then we’re going to be laughing for years….
“The one and only” dumb enough to go long emerging markets. He’s going to loose “Bigly”
Don’t you refer to yourself as “the one” (who knocks)? But seriously, you do great work. Thanks for all of the commentary.
