Good read and the guy impressed me with this! zerohedge.com "No matter who was sitting across the table from me, I never shied away from asking tough questions on their organization, operations, investment process and risk management. Allocating money to hedge funds isn't a job for the shy and timid; you got to be able to grill them when you need to. But I also listened carefully to their responses, paying close attention to how they addressed difficult periods. The best hedge fund managers are not uncomfortable talking about periods where they lost money and how they coped. Anyone can talk up a great game when they're making money but very few managers have the self assurance to talk about the difficult periods. For me, those discussions were crucial and told me a lot about the manager, and more importantly on the organization's culture and depth. The toughest part of that job was the constant traveling which takes its toll."

That poster is a drifter, but every now and then he finds a thread and camps there for a while and posts far left wing propaganda numerous times a day... I've banned him from all of my threads after camping there and posting his nonsense... after a while, he changed his name in hopes that no one would recognize him, but it becomes obvious immediately anyhow... it looks like he's about to camp here, but maybe this advisory post might let him know he's wasting his time...
