What’s happened to Bulldog?
He’s gone very quiet.

First and foremost I hope he is OK. Had a lot of time for his investment ideas. Did like the way he treated those that constantly beat the political stick (often needlessly) with the disdain deserved.

Hopefully his lifestyle of alcohol and tobacco hasn’t caught up with him. Maybe one of his young ladies tied him up and forgot about him? Again, hopefully not. Would be a tad peckish by now!

@ Rob B

Fear not, I am sure that his Caviar and Cuban Cigar supplier will be round to check up on him when his regular slot and order fails to come in.
However they do not know the forum members
Thus like yourself and jokes aside, I sincerely hope is OK.
BD - We miss you, come back if only to share your literary prowess. though the investing linked posts are a bonus.

Great contributor, wit, writer, entertainer and political satirist to the right of Genghis Khan.

Oh BD we miss your Poetesy,
Such irreverence re Fundsmith and CGT
May your Junk Bonds bloom excessively
And keep good faith with L&G.

This was my thought too. He'd already been banned from holding individual stocks; I imagine compliance people take a dim view of participation in anonymous un-monitored investment forums.

Although... another thought... cannot help but notice a fair bit about money laundering and Russian Oligarchs and so on in the news the last few weeks. Do we actually know much about what sort of people Bulldog's UHNW clients were? Maybe he's had other more pressing matters to attend to recently.

That's a fair old whack of pure speculation! Not very pleasant either. But becoming par for the course round here.

Maybe BD has just had enough of *This Place*........

All the best to the good gentleman - whatever his reasons :-)

He's probably been outed and will have to reappear under another nom de guerre!
