The problem with this is he made his massive gains before 1987. He made his big hits from a percentage basis in the 1970s when he utilized his famous Greenmail techniques aka his shakedown of WASP managements that didn't want a Jew as a 10%+ holder.

MAYBE because he was Jew, more likely a country club board simply doesnt like any outsiders much;
nor would i expect a Jew Synagog to put non Jews in management, nor should they have to.
You are right generally/ certain exception$ like Peter Lynch @ Fidelity happen also.....
