beswick1111 while it is fantastic that you are a cab driver, you aren’t describing stress. Your job is hard labor. The difference is that you don’t have other people’s money riding on YOUR success. These big time managers don’t have the luxury to fuck up. If they fuck up once, it’s over for them. Yes they get paid a lot, but they get paid a lot because if they didn’t, nobody in their right mind would want to do it. It also takes decades of experience to become good at trading for a large hedge fund. Best of luck to you my friend. Another persons stress does not need to be downplayed just because they get paid more than you do.

***** How can you be so sure that most investors for a startup hedge fund are from IT companies and generally younger? I know that there are quite a few activist hedge funds, and plenty of investors and speculators who need these high returns. If you get a good track record for a period of time, investors will want to invest in you. You could also show the investors a sound plan and strategy that might convince them that value is the right way to go. Plus activists can add value to companies by changing the management or helping them out in some way. I know that William Ackman had to go to hundreds of investors just to get a few who would actually invest in him, Paulson started off with only a few million or maybe a few hundred thousand, Loeb started with only three million.

Curtis I Equity is ownership of income generating businesses that typically owns a wide range of physical goods. The price of a stock does not always reflect its company's earning power, therefore its price doesn't always equal its value; but gold is almost solely priced by the whims of the traders and its value is identical to its price. Therefore, while the value of a stock will eventually be reflected in its price through reversion to the mean, gold prices can be arbitrary and is based on the traders' emotions not some underlying value.
