TCW vs Jeff Gundlach, et al: Getting Ugly Early

It is not often that the top bond manager on Wall Street gets fired. What prompted the unceremonious departure of Jeff Gundlach from Trust Company of the West?

Stories of financial intrigue are always riveting. The real deal of authentic Wall Street financial conspiracies and resulting legal actions are much more riveting. Did Jeff Gundlach and other defendants steal a wealth of TCW proprietary information prior to being shown the door? Did Gundlach, et al commit fraud and a breach of fiduciary duty while at TCW? Did TCW plan to confiscate revenue generated by Gundlach and team?

What are we to make of TCW management’s allegation that they found inappropriate contraband in Gundlach’s office the day he was fired. What sort of contraband? Marijuana, drug paraphernalia, a collection of sexual devices, and hardcore pornographic magazines. (more…)

Nouriel Roubini Agrees with Jeff Gundlach

Dr. Doom agrees with Wall Street’s top fixed income manger? Who are these individuals and on what do they agree?

Both these individuals are Economic All-Stars here at Sense on Cents (see left sidebar).  Nouriel Roubini (aka Dr. Doom) and Jeff Gundlach (aka Wall Street’s top fixed income manger) possess a contrarian view on the future of the U.S. dollar. While most analysts, economists, traders, investors, and speculators call for ongoing weakness in the greenback, Roubini and Gundlach believe the dollar will rebound and risk-based assets will retreat.

I addressed Gundlach’s views on this market driving principle on September 10th when I wrote “Jeff Gundlach of TCW Calling for Deflation and Dollar Rally”: (more…)

Economic/Market Highlights 1/5/09 . . . “Bad and Getting Worse”

Posted by Larry Doyle on January 6th, 2009 10:00 AM |

On the first real day of business after the holidays, I will tip my hat to PEBO and his economic team. Obama opened his press briefing this morning with his take that the economy is “bad and getting worse.” In deft fashion, he then caught almost everybody off guard by leading his proposed economic stimulus plan with focus on a significant level of tax cuts and tax credits. In my opinion, this was a very, very strong first move. Well done, Barack!!

The general outline of these cuts and credits include:

1. tax cuts for those paying taxes or with an earned-income credit. Likely for families earning up to 200k, although that is not yet defined.

2. businesses can retroactively reduce tax bills going back 5 years by writing off losses from 2008 and 2009.

3. offer tax credits to entice firms to plow money back into new investments.

4. provide a one year tax credit for companies that make new hires or forego layoffs.

5. increase write-offs for a wide array of expenditures for small business.
