The guy who had the original idea made 3.7 billion last year!
It's simple why he would be mad, he stole his shit.
Quote from gymratnyc:
What do you guys think about this? This guy received some idea from a money manager and then went on and used it and made $500 million.

Here's your post starting the thread:
Notice how I put the word receive in bold? You're not saying he stole it and either did the article.

I'm not saying that you have it dman666, but I'm not saying that you don't, either.
Quote from Cutten:
Going short real estate was not exactly some big secret. Loads of people had been RE bears since 2003, 2004 since it was an obvious bubble with rampant speculation and greed, just like dotcoms in the late 90s. Either the WSJ reporter is a liar and his editor/fact-checker incompetent, or Paulson is the biggest whining pussy of the 21st century. If this other guy made $500 mill then good for him - he took the risk if he was wrong, so he deserves the rewards.

Normally I'd agree with you Cutten, but you're both wrong on this one.Quote from dman666:
Agreed, he made money because of the real estate market crash. It would be the same thing as if I talked about buying a stock around one of my friends and he actually does and makes a bunch of cash because of it.
Thank you for confirming ALL of my previous posts.Quote from dman666:
So Paulson created a "Trading Device" to take advantage of a situation he thought may happen and is now mad because Greene used this "Trading Device" and his directional bias to "Trade" that market?
So whoever trades an ETF should be considered stealing an idea because he is not the person who created that trading instrument? The only person that should be able to trade an ETF is the person who created it? How could we make a market doing this?
