Billy Joel’d Dear Investor Letters

The latest monthly missive from Pimco's Bill Gross, Well We're Living Here in Allentown, has earned the fund manager quite a bit of attention this week.

I have long maintained that the song titles of the Billy Joel catalog were an underutilized source of 'Dear Investor' letter motifs.  I have some suggestions for other strategists and portfolio manager types who are looking for a boost in the title department, Billy Joel Style:

Stephen Schwartzman - Big Shot

Bill Ackman - The Ballad of Billy the Kid

Phil Falcone - I Go To Extremes

David Einhorn - Everybody Loves You Now

Meredith Whitney - Uptown Girl

Jimmy Rogers - The Great Wall of China

Ping Jiang - She's Always a Woman

Warren Buffett - The Entertainer

Leon Cooperman - New York State of Mind

Thomas Hudson - Only The Good Die Young

John Paulson - Pressure

Paolo Pellegrini - Scenes From an Italian Restaurant

Jim Simons - The Stranger

Dan Loeb - Angry Young Man

Bill Miller - Goodnight Saigon

George Soros - For the Longest Time

Stanley Druckenmiller - Movin' Out

Thomas Hudson - Only the Good Die Young

Carl Icahn - You May Be Right (but you aren't, obviously I am)

David Tepper - Easy Money

Steve Cohen - An Innocent Man

That's a good start, let me know if I've missed any...
