Former Obama supporter Dan Loeb heavily criticized the administrations policies in his Q2 2010 letter. Third Point Partners is a hedge fund firm with approximately $3.4 billion of assets under management. The firm was founded in 1995 by Daniel S. Loeb, who is CEO and oversees all investment activity.
Loeb is known for his scathing letters to under-performing CEO's. He did not disappoint in this letter with this memorable quote:
Perhaps our leaders will awaken to the fact that free market capitalism is the best system to allocate resources and create innovation, growth and jobs.Perhaps they will see the folly of generating greater deficits by "investing" in programs that lead to corruption and distortions of the system. Perhaps too, a cloven-hoofed, bristly haired mammal will become airborne and the rosette-like marking of a certain breed of ferocious feline will become altered. In other words, we are not holding our breath and are focused instead on navigating these murky waters for the benefit of our funds.
Thanks Neil for drawing this to my attention.
