The lucky bastards are the ones selling get rich quick schemes. The hyper-geniuses are the ones keeping their mouth shut and managing the Harvard Endowment.



You mean they are genius in the sense that they get paid to manage other people's money?

Because the Harvard endowment, like most all other funds out there, generally fails to beat the market and has had down years even while the market was up. This is probably due to lower risk tolerance, but it doesn't really show that hyper geniuses are running it either.


Those who know dont tell, and those that tell dont know.
