My time is more expensive than the $15 extra I pay for the food...who's the sucker.

I'm not paying for the food. I'm paying for them to bring me the food. Those are two different products.

It looks like a normal 7-Eleven.

He did not sell the fund. He sold the publicly traded portion of it.

He currently still has $10B under management.

What's the point of posting blatantly wrong details? It's pretty easy to look them up.

You're so caught up in irrelevant details like a rhetorical device that you've missed that this guy's fund is up 80% for the year and his investors are having a GREAT year. Worth reflecting on.

It's a no-signal or slightly-positive signal until paired with other signals.

For example, doing it at Columbia is meaningful. Doing it at a random school, not so much.

His fund did not fold.

In fact, the returns were so astronomical that they took a $35B loss (around 67%) which means they were still UP 80% for the year in 2026.

Today they have around $10B under management.

As an investor, how would you feel about being up 80% for the year? Exactly. They're having a phenomenal year.

I'm not writing a technical paper and I refuse to write like what you're suggesting. It's just a rhetorical device!

That's fair and I guess we're about to find out! The thing to appreciate is there's a lot that's unprecedented about all of this. Some of it has to do with Leopold but then there's a whole lot that doesn't. I'll definitely be following along as the story develops over the years...

A nightmare client would be a nightmare client regardless of the technology involved. I can definitely believe that it's way more annoying with the false confidence effect it tends to have for non-experts.

25 years ago, you were 25 years younger. Maybe it's not the computers that you miss.

You can see their ego trying to protect itself.

Humans are perfectly capable of this themselves and in fact often do it...
