Tepper Tones-Down Bullishness on U.S. Market

August 6, 2013 11:05 AM EDT
On Monday, CNBC noted the performance of hedge fund giant David Tepper as his Appaloosa Management celebrates its 20th anniversary.

There was a notable part of CNBC's presentation, which had Tepper saying that stocks were still reasonable and he was still long, but he said if I was super bullish before, i'm just bullish now.

Tepper's Appaloosa is up 23.4 percent in 2013, bolstered by a positive 5.5 percent performance in July. Appaloosa returned 30.5 percent over the last five years. Over the last 20-year prior, Appaloosa has returned 28 percent net of fees, or 36 percent gross.

U.S. markets could be taking the hint today, with the S&P 500 down 13 points, the DJIA off 128 points, and the Nasdaq down 36 points.
