Quote from day7793:
He is constantly destabilizing financial markets with his loud mouth. He never used to do that when he was the Chairman. He knows his remarks get people edgy and up a can and the markets swoon to the downside.
Keeps him on the dinner speech circit for the new rich. In addition to baosting which closed to new money hedge fund they are with they can now boast that they were "with Alan" when he made a remark that caused a sell off. That is why he is doing it IMHO, accordingly I would be without sympathy if someone who loses money goes postal at one of his book signings and ends the problem.
