Marketwatch – Phillip Goldstein warned the other day that the speech he was about to give to a bunch of hedge fund industry lawyers might be offensive. It was, and he made no apologies.<\/p>\n

All of the attention Goldstein has received in the last few months hasn’t changed his style.<\/div>\n
The man who took on and overturned the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rule requiring hedge fund registration is as outspoken as ever, in fact he may even be more so.<\/div>\n

“I don’t need to pay anybody to tell me right from wrong,” he said to a smattering of awkward laughter.<\/div>\n

Principal of Bulldog Investors, Goldstein is a child of the 60s.
