The non-compounding aspect is critical: you can think of the Medallion fund as a business that, with a capital base of (say) 5 billion dollars, produces an annual profit of 2 billion dollars ... but cannot grow, and so distributes all of th

Did you enjoy it? I really liked The Quantum Magician (puppets!) but thought The Quantum Garden was not a worthy follow-up.
