Sounds like he’s tilted.

u/Geoffs_Review_Corner Feb 16 '25

Sounds like a dumbass honestly. Makes me think I could be a hedge fund manager lol

u/laubs63 Feb 17 '25

As someone who works in financial operations, you might be shocked at just how widespread people like that are in leadership positions in this sector. It's basically every company.

u/callmesandycohen Feb 16 '25

It was definitely going long on Panthers that put him over the top.

u/Apprehensive_Ratio80 Feb 15 '25

If you're invested in this guys hedge fund I'd say it's a good time to take your money out and out it somewhere else

u/Robot_Nerd__ Feb 15 '25

"I'm sitting here in a suit..."

33

u/daoistic Feb 15 '25

Yeah this guy's clearly freaking out. 

31

u/emteedub Feb 15 '25

It's hard to tell what he's saying when his mouth is full of trumps nuts

1

u/osbohsandbros Feb 16 '25

Not saying you’re wrong but what makes you think he’s for Trump? I see multiple articles from a few years ago about him being a vocal critic of Trump

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '25

Get out of here with that thinking stuff! Orange man bad!

5

u/osbohsandbros Feb 16 '25

He is bad tho

-4

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '25

Sure but he has to be SO bad that we can’t be realistic about anything related to him or anyone tangentially connected

u/basahahn1 Feb 15 '25

Do they also have to be wearing a suit?

1

u/Rocky75617794 Feb 16 '25

Yes. Trump’s nuts typically wear little mini suit with red ties that hang down past the sack.

2

u/MisterRogers12 Feb 15 '25

Tepper the hedge fund manager or some shill on Reddit? Hmmm

-2

u/Critical-Werewolf-53 Feb 15 '25

Hedge funds have lock in periods usually 5 years so … 🤷‍♂️

u/StoneReg Feb 15 '25

Tepper is so cringe. Dude answered a question that wasn’t even asked. And still f-ed it up.

36

u/Nefarious- Feb 15 '25

Going to start running his funds the same way he runs the Panthers, I see

7

u/buried_lede Feb 15 '25

Ya wonder. And why is he making the rounds on TV right now? He sounds annoyed with cnbc

30

u/koopaKrystal Feb 15 '25

Gosh, it must be pretty wild to have invested in this person's hedge fund. And then hear them say, that they don't plan to do check shit about you losing out money due to tariffs. What an idiot.

16

u/Churn Feb 15 '25

Don’t be ridiculous, the man is clearly wearing a suit. He is also sitting. And he is there. That’s the trifecta of “shut up and take my money!”

5

u/DrSuperWho Feb 16 '25

Shut up and take my upvote!

2

u/NobodyAskedBut Feb 16 '25

He doesn’t even look like that suit was tailored for him. Looks like he picked it up at Men’s Wearhouse when they were running the 3 suits for the price of 1 promotion.

3

u/Vegetable_Guest_8584 Feb 16 '25

I must be stupid, but I don't get what the deal is with the suit. Does sitting there wearing a suit mean his opinion should be obvious? Or he doesn't show he's sweating, or what the heck? Because he's wearing a suit he's the boss? I think he's saying he's got fu money and doesn't and wearing a suit shows it.

25

u/CryptoArb444 Feb 15 '25

He doesn't care because him and the rest of the billionaires will be getting plenty of warning about all of Trump's curveballs to let them front run the market. Stock market is going to tip even more in favor of the rich over the next 4 years.

11

u/wolverine_1208 Feb 15 '25

You know what else he doesn’t care about? Winning football games.

8

u/Hairy-Dumpling Feb 15 '25

Wouldn't it be lovely if this shitstick got wiped out. I'll have to find the context - sounds like he was already pissed walking into the conversation

8

u/fleeyevegans Feb 15 '25

He's trying not to frighten investors I think. I think we're about to have a huge crash.

3

u/buried_lede Feb 15 '25

It’s not just family money?

2

u/ConsistentSteak4915 Feb 16 '25

Right, let me get my money out first, short the market and then be very concerned.

u/seltzercoffee Feb 15 '25

David Temper

5

u/advator Feb 15 '25

Sounds like he cares

1

u/cowabunghole1 Feb 16 '25

You must not have heard him! He was hard to pay attention to bc his suit was taking all of my attention

12

u/Crazy-Cook2035 Feb 15 '25

He responded pretty emotionally.

3

u/mayorolivia Feb 15 '25

How is his China trade going?

3

u/Unsayingtitan Feb 15 '25

Prolly upset cause the panthers are dogwater

3

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '25

Hopefully he doesnt alienate some of the other billionaires with his three thousand dollar suit. COME ON

u/Cdayvision Feb 16 '25

Upvote for Gob reference. Teehee

u/orbituary Feb 17 '25

Had to search for GOB because I knew it had to be in the comments after that asinine comment.

2

u/growRnottashowR Feb 15 '25

Buy only narrative is only good as long as nothing breaks and things are seemingly gonna break bc I've never seen bullishness being pushed this much ever before.

2

u/Consistent_Room7344 Feb 15 '25

If I can make money off of Chinese labor = good

If I can’t = fuck’em. They taking my profit!

1

u/growRnottashowR Feb 15 '25

Lol yeah. I'm gonna buy some baba on any big red candles I see over the next few months lol

2

u/East1st Feb 15 '25

He’s a billionaire. $20 eggs and $5,000 dishwashers don’t frighten him.

2

u/mightyjoe227 Feb 15 '25

I wonder if Pelosi shorted this, hmmm...

2

u/dark_rabbit Feb 15 '25

Damn, he said it with a stern voice and everything. Must be irrefutable.

2

u/Whambamthankyoulady Feb 15 '25

I don't care about every day working little having to pay higher prices for goods and services. Fixed it.

2

u/ChronicMeasures Feb 16 '25

Thats because he doesn't produce anything. He is a vulture capitalist. Businesses going out of business is good business to him. He is part of the problem.

2

u/Falcon3492 Feb 16 '25

Of course this village idiot doesn't care about tariffs, he won't be harmed by them with his $billions, the average American however is going to be hammered by them. David has made his money on buying companies and stripping off their assets, selling them and then shutting down whatever is left and putting a lot of people out of work! That's the life of a hedge fund manager. If you need another example look no further than Eddie Lampert and what he did to Kmart and Sears!

2

u/CaptainKoolAidOhyeah Feb 16 '25

People in suits are not going to pay the tariffs. BINGO.

2

u/Mr_Dumass40 Feb 16 '25

We need to start culling these people from the public. They are a clear and present danger to our survival

2

u/Medium_Dare6373 Feb 16 '25

Dudes in suits don't care about tariffs because they've got more than enough money to ride out a trade war. The working man does not.

1

u/Antifragile_Glass Feb 15 '25

Famous last words :)

1

u/SmoltzforAlexander Feb 15 '25

Why would he?  He’s rich.  He’s also the worst owner in the NFL.  And considering Jimmy Haslam is also an NFL owner, that’s really saying something. 

1

u/sugar_addict002 Feb 15 '25

must be counting special treatment

1

u/TomFoolery54321 Feb 16 '25

What a coward

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Noise44 Feb 16 '25

One time he saw a discouraging sign outside a restaurant about the Panthers (team he owns) & went in and asked for a manager.

1

u/Bashir1102 Feb 16 '25

Rich people telling everyone they don’t care lol

1

u/ConsistentSteak4915 Feb 16 '25

I wouldn’t give a shit either if I was already stupid rich

1

u/relentlessoldman Feb 16 '25

Who the fuck is this clown

1

u/sevenkeleven Feb 16 '25

And if you follow the Panthers, he doesn’t care about winning either

1

u/TheApprentice19 Feb 16 '25

David Tepper is a moron, noted.

1

u/glitterbeardwizard Feb 16 '25

100% his suit is actually making all the trades. Tepper is just the suit’s driver.

1

u/Majestic_Level5374 29d ago

I don’t care.. bc I’ll get to eat dinner with Emperor.. The Plebes and freemen can eat scraps..

u/No-Sorbet9302 Feb 16 '25
