If he's any good, he could ask for his job back (he could have burnt a lot of bridges on the way out...)
Wrong. By all accounts he already had a "good life." In this case, "real risk" = real poor contingency planning. If you equate what he did with "having alot of balls" or some other stupid cliche, you too, are an idiot...
I also thought this... This story is smack in the middle of the MSN homepage, so its obviously going to get alot of exposure.. Assuming he didnt burn bridges with his previous buyside accounts, it shouldnt be hard to get a job.. Some firms in fact might reach out to the guy..
You think soros has special skill? You think madonna can sing any better than the next? You think elon musk is a genius? You think larry Ellison works harder than the guy digging ditches? I could go on and on. Great success is almost pure luck. Keep living lie that it ain't and you wiu never move beyond Mediocracy
Damn right I do and if you think he made his $billions through luck you're even stupider than I thought.
Thats true and if everyone was just willing to work for someone else this country would stand still. No wisdom is gained thru success wisdom comes from failures.
There probably is some validity to this. Although most flame out due to overconfidence and no discipline.
But then again, there's no other profession that motivates its participants to be inspired by other's misery just to rationalize their own losses. What a fucking sad state we've come to. Grow up for once!
