If giving your money to a financial advisor is selling your soul then you have some wacked out views of the world

Honestly, it kinda is. This mentality of "I'm only an investor" and using that to separate and insulate ourselves from the companies we invest in is just a cop out.

I'd hand him my checking account number everyday of the week.... not to invest in the Panthers but into Appolosa funds

 

this is why him paying Ben Johnson $100 million is pocket change

His entire fortune has been made with ‘bold bets’

Perfectly explains his tenure as NFL owner.

Too bad his NFL bets are terrible.

I have no problem admitting there are people in this world way more knowledgeable then me in the fiancial sector and wealth management.  Thats just how the world works.  I think at some point in investing and planning its kindof nuts to try and do it yourself once you get past a certain limit.  You are leaving money on the table per se.

 

And yes I would give Tepper and his fund every penny I have

McDonald's charging poor people 15 bucks for a "value meal" that is slowly killing them....in the name of a dividend and a happy quarterly call.

It’s possible to be an investor and only invest in companies that align with your values.

That's one way to view the world but I think it's a way to view the world that leaves you no leg to stand on when you accuse others of having "some wacked out views of the world". IMO, valuing a dollar over any and everything else is pretty fuging wacked out.

Sure it is. But the Teppers of the world don't care about it and wealthy people give their money to them to accumulate more wealth and insulate themselves from the impact of their investment dollars while oftentimes virtue signaling to claim to care about issues their dollars are working directly against.

I was saying "wacked out" in the sense that there are people smarter then me in a lot of fields, not in the sense of making money.
