Failed hedge fund manager goes into teaching investing

[tomorton]

As a retail trader, I take some encouragement from this report. Firstly, he isn't a failed retail trader. Secondly he's not teaching retail trading.

A good trader may not be a good teacher and a good teacher may not be a good trader. He maybe a better teacher than a trader.

For many professions, in professional sports, technical fields, the best practitioners are not the best teachers/coaches.

All true. Many retail traders take the view that only a successful trader can teach trading. But they also complain that a teacher with a strong trading history shouldn't need to teach trading if they really are such a good trader.

I think this ambivalent attitude says more about trader egos than it does about teacher abilities.
