Stolper Is Stolpered Out: Goldman's Chief FX Strategist Leaving The Firm

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The one man who singlehandedly generated over 10,000 pips in FX profits for Zero Hedge readers who faded his each and every call over the past 5 years, is finally gone.

  • GOLDMAN CHIEF FX STRATEGIST STOLPER SAYS HE'S LEAVING FIRM
  • GOLDMAN'S THOMAS STOLPER SAYS HE'S SETTING UP OWN VENTURE

It appears that the muppets have spoken up and advised Lloyd they no longer enjoy being run over by a steamroller. What do we mean? The following sampling of historic headlines should explain it:

And many, many, many more going back to 2009. Once again, thanks for the memories Tom: it's been real. We can only hope that your premature ejection has nothing to do with Goldman manipulating FX, especially when it comes to putting on prop trades against your trading recos. 

That said, we can't wait to find out where you land, so we can continue tracking your phenomenal - truly unprecedented in the history of Wall Street - trading recommendations.

For now, one small step through the Goldman exit doors for a man, a giant leap for Kermit kind.

You won't have old Tom Stolper to kick around any more.  Pity.  The world of sarcasm and incredulity just became a darker place with his departure.  He was truly the gift that kept on giving in that respect.

"We can only hope that your premature ejection has nothing to do with Goldman manipulating FX, especially when it comes to putting on prop trades against your trading recos. "

Nice parting shot.

Yeah why stay at Goldman and let them keep most of the money made from slaughtering the sheeps when he can keep most of it himself.

I'll be certainly missing the muppet series...

Just hope he'll soon be replaced by another equally skilled strategist.

Don't worry too much because pretty much ALL of Goldman's stuff gievn away free to the Muppets can be traded against. The Squid simply does not work for free.

Goldman Sachs will have no further comment on his departure until after his suicide.

Wonder if he owns a nail gun.

At least he was not suicided.  But, maybe, I speak too soon.

Suicide by tree chipper.  I think that might be better than one of the Clinton's colleagues suicide by plate glass decapitation (just like in The Omen).

It seems that the cop off to the right has correctly concluded that there is suspicious activity in the line. Call the SWAT team stat.

Thank you Tom Stolper!

 

You have given me the biggest belly laughs on Zero Hedge, the last few years...

 

Your trade recommendations have been a god send. If you go long, I go short. If you go short, I go long...

 

This place really won't be the same without you, and I will be much the poorer : (

 

Good luck and god bless you, you little tinker!

 

LOL

Don't forget that he has also helped many of his investors prove the old adage that the easiest way to accumulate a small fortune is to start with a larger one.

I doubt that Tom Stolper is actually a real person. Probably just a front for slaying muppets.

Seriously, CHIEF FX strategist?? No chance!

Significant PR liability.

Perhaps this comment (widely reported) was the final straw -

The slump has been “fun to watch,” Thomas Stolper, the chief currency strategist in London at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., said by phone Jan. 24. “

Stolper laughing as the poor got poorer .....

Yes, but you'll have to pay him first in order to know how to fade him.

He should have been promoted!!

A perfect reverse indicator is more valuable on Wall Street than someone who is correct 65% of the time.
