What a BUNCH of jealous idiots! He made HIS money it is HIS money he can
spend it on ANYTHING he wants..
If I had his money you people wouldn’t even KNOW if I gave to charity or
NOT.. I don’t even care what you think..
A VERY intelligent, talented man indeed!
MIT was my backup college also!
Jealous comments are always made by the Have-Nots- see below…..
The secret sauce to success (minute 36):
* Great people;
* Great infrastructure;
* Open environment;
* Compensation connected to performance.
University of Virginia
Super gay questions…. I would have been like, so, where’s the time
machine at??
Thanks for the conference release, your history, and way to approach
problems.
cute story, MIT as a backup college.
The man has gotten “old” but you can tell the way he talks he is still
sharp, a true legend.
Real estate was and is overvalued. Real estate is no more of a sure thing
than investing in a lemonade stand.
This liar thinks high frequency trading is socially good. He also doesn’t
want to speak about his trading models. What an A-hole. He is almost died
and still doesn’t want to give back. Basically this event is just an ego
boost for him.
Simons missed a step answering the question about quants. David X Li used
his knowledge of the Gaussian probability equation to structure
new securities. Quants was at the core of the crash. Wired has a great
article is you’re interested.
1:02:00 “one can make the cliche either way” ??!?
The secret is privileged information.
58:10 inflation is actually better for those who are active in the economy.
the young , the less affluent . the people that are just stacking their
money on top of each other hate inflation and want the gold standard
because they can just relax and tell everyone what to do. on the other hand
inflation CAN be bad for really poor people i think because they dont have
the knowledge to gauge economic factors, which rich people do… so
inflation is alright i think as long as it produces growth and job creation
and in the case of the united states it sure does, because its one of the
most trustworthy and stable countries politically and financially in the
world, its better in many ways than europe.
The Professor is a good gambler… but his understanding of ECONOMICS (not
money peddling or gambling) is either on the side of the Feudal Lords
(those that collect without producing) or or it is on the side of the
ignorants… Either… or… I don’t know what percentage he is giving back
(as he should since he is collecting on behalf of society) through his
“philanthropic” foundation… but it ain’t much compared how much money he
has hoarded off of the non-gambling economy. I don’t know how philanthropic
it is to collect and hoard loaves of bread and give back crumbs…
fucking crook
1:00:45 i dont understand using quant for everything, i mean what the hell
is quant ? just a statistician/mathematician that works in finance, right?
so … just use it in every sentence then?
strange. 55:00. in talking about macro, he has no idea. there is no growth.
yes, sure, there is growth in areas, such as tech. but there is no large,
broad growth in the US. he refers to the growth after ww2, without
acknowledging “boomers” and their impact, subsequent to the war that
fostered that growth. boomers are now retiring, which is massively
deflationary (anti-growth). also, given that he devises “robots” (hft), one
would think that he would have an understanding or have an ability to
express skepticism re automation and intelligence and its impact on
markets. he can’t or he doesn’t. …
