Sure but Vista is the exception to the rule. If I told you "algo hedge funds only really took off(on AUM Basis) after 2008" you wouldn't answer that with "Yeah but Rentec exists since 1982" or "D E Shaw exists

Undertaxation is rarely at the root of investment bubbles. Housing is the only one off the top of my head where I can envision a convincing argument for it being the chief reason. For like 80% of recorded asset bubbles in history undertaxat

When you say "programming" do you mean "acquisition of skill" programming or "I need to use existing skills" programming? Because I can certainly agree that whenever you know what you are doing and have a task

I mean you can say all you want but basically a lot of the VCs that interacted with him have no problem publicly stating that he is the best salesman they ever saw. Money that he lost in WeWork is not coming back, but the sales talent is st
