jackson loomis is the reclusive scientist who is also a fabled money manager. there was an article on him in wall street journal a few years ago.

he resides on some remote island and does research and lives quietly. every so often- he makes an appearance at a shareholders meeting and amazes all who hear him speak.

he suffered a personal tragedy years ago and decided to drop out of the mainstream.

this is what i can remember from the article at least.

i think the fact that he was such a respected scientist (led initial experiments on r2-80 and fasic measurements) and has historically owned great medical/bio tech companies at early stages (medtronic, amgen, us surgical) means that cohr is destined for an even brighter future

we should try and do some research into what other comapnies he owns as they will undoubtedly rise in value
