For Ives, dressing brightly isn’t so much a way to stand out from the crowd. After all, it’s the accuracy of his calls that shapes his credibility and reputation.
If you watch CNBC or Bloomberg Television frequently, chances are you will know who Dan Ives is. The managing director and global head of technology at Wedbush Securities is best known for his bullish calls on Tesla and Nvidia, as well as his bold fashion sense. Hot pink jackets or pastel coloured plaids are but some of the staples in his flamboyant wardrobe.
“I always have dressed different [and] funky, going back to my days in Long Island in the 1980s,” Ives told The Edge Singapore. “Bringing colour to Wall Street. It’s very in line with how I call stocks. It’s a beat of a different drum.”
