> You're right about a lot of funds being smoke and mirrors though. I used to run one, and the investors never ask the right questions.

Wow!!!!!

I've never heard an owner of a hedge fund refer their fund as "smoke and mirrors". I really hope for your sake that you just misspoke.

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. I understand how hard the industry can be, if you ever think of trying again, don't let your past failures dissuade you.

I'm available to chat if you'd like:)

We've already spoken, well emailed. I'm doing prop for an HFT, not a million miles from running a fund. Well, it's better anyway.

As for smoke and mirrors, naturally I mean other people's funds! Mine actually would have won the bet with Warren by a fair margin.

Come to think of it, I was a partner before that in a fund that wasn't so good, but had lots and lots of investors climbing over each other to invest.
