While I’ve been a fan of Jeff Gundlach for some time, regular listeners to my podcast, which likely includes Gundlach himself, know that its always bothered me that he has a habit of repeating analogies that he’s heard me use without ever giving me credit for having used them first. At one point some of his Twitter followers called him out on this, prompting me to agree. That resulted in Gundlach blocking me on Twitter. This week Gundlach did it again. He stole one of my signature analogies almost verbatim and claimed it as his own. I first used the analogy in a 2005 commentary (see the link to read it for yourself) and later included in my 2007 book Crash Proof. It then became a staple my earlier economic talks, such a 2006 Money Show presentation, as well as my 2006 Mortgage Bankers speech, which became one of my most-watched Youtube video. Decided for yourself. Watch Gundlach use an analogy this week that he claimed to have come up with himself. Then watch two examples of me using the identical analogy fifteen years earlier! Is this just a coincidence or did Gundlach take credit for my analogy?
