Yes...worked for one of the biggest and more successful HFs in the world, when I used to live in Chicago. That HF accounted for almost 2% of the daily trading volume on NYSE, LSE, and TSE every single day (I'd imagine that some people could guess which fund this is). I assisted with the development of new trading strategies and to expose opportunities in new markets. Been working at a Greenwich-based HF for almost 2 years now...working on similar things to what I did in Chicago. -K

Thought you'd find the following excerpt interesting, regarding top-paid hedge fund managers: Below is a table of the 10 hedge fund managers with the highest pay, according to Institutional Investor. T 1. Edward Lampert $1.02 billion ESL Investments 2. James Simons $670 million Renaissance Technologies 3. Bruce Kovner $550 million Caxton Associates 4. Steven Cohen $450 million SAC Capital Advisors 5. David Tepper $420 million Appaloosa Management 6. George Soros $305 million Soros Fund Management 7. Paul Tudor Jones $300 million Tudor Investment 8. Kenneth Griffin $240 million Citadel Investment 9. Raymond Dalio $225 million Bridgewater Associates 10. Israel Englander $205 million Millennium Partners Those figures far* exceed the highest paid CEOs at other types of financial firms (and other companies in general). Overall it's a very lucrative part of the industry to be in...even if you don't own/run the place ;-) -K
