Trumpism is not a philosophy or a movement. It's a cult.

Isn't Bill Gross the one who said it was time to dump LT's a few years ago and they ended up going up by 33% that year?

Yep!  And subsequently lost his job as the manager of the world's largest bond fund and kicked out of the company he co-founded.  Now that's career risk from market timing.  The "King of Bonds" moniker is now bestowed upon Jeffrey Gundlach.

Gundlach is a much better king. He actually helped the FBI catch the thieves who stole valuable art from his own home in Santa Monica a few years ago.

I'm sorry but I found this a lot more fascinating...  what a bizarre alternate reality!

So what exactly are you saying?  Should Ben Affleck be the new bond king? Or Jennifer Garner the new queen?
