First Wellington, Now Janus

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As a reminder, Janus is the mutual fund that had the worst cash levels in pretty much the entire industry. And accelerated redemptions mean game over.

Tom Bailey, the founder of Janus Funds, is the type of man that most of you on this site could respect and appreciate if you actually knew him and his story. 

He's a self-made Canadian that started with Boettcher in Denver and NYC, then went out on his own with very, very, little capital.  He was one of the key players that made the mutual fund and 401k industry.  One can only envy his exit deal with KSU.  

Bailey has always treated people well.  He is honorable, kind, humble, an excellent skier, a good fisherman, and has become a fine horseman late in his life. The money SAR and he spent to conserve the Mt. Sopris Ranch is admirable. 

Sorry to see Janus soiled like this.

Still NMFP, THB?

 The mt. Sopris Ranch !!  WTF. Did he treat you well ? How much did you paid for this ridiculous endorsement ? Made the 401K "industry"; then he's a crime against humanity convictee; immediately. "One can only envy his exit deal with KSU"; I don't want any deals with the devil thank you; I've watched people dying of cancer in terrible pain for months; I'd rather that my soul was clean if you don't mind.

Ok, you're a complete fool.

Make a call, then when it doesn't happen fall back on anything that is working.  Why should anyone trust anything you say when you sell Apple the instant you hear "margin compression" then mysteriously restart propaganda slinging Apple again days later.

Please, spare everyone your input.  You're like a child who never got attention, always needing attention and doing anything to get it.

Horse hockey: you're plenty worried, or you wouldn't be saying otherwise.  AAPL at 300...that stock sees 250 before it breaks 350, which means you should have a chance to cost average down on the way to 150.

Yes, I thought the pop would happen immediately but today seems to be lagging a bit. Remember, any move that doesn't end below 1175 SPX is meaningless. Tested again and again and we always bounce.

Yes, the Euro drop is meaningless.  Euro bond spreads are meaningless.  Everything is meaningless as long as we stay above 1175.  I'm sure you'll sell the moment we go below 1175, then claim to have been short since the 1220s.

I called a top 15 minutes after the new POMO schedule was announced on 11/10 in this thread.  You were calling for staying long to EOY with SPX 1300.  LMFAO at your pathetic calls.
