Wall Street or bust

Quote from gymratnyc:

After awhile, it's harder to get the same returns or higher returns, the more AUM you have. No?

Yes, thats why I said to a point.

Since you are new here and obviously dont know me and have no idea what your talking about as it relates to MY business, I will forgive your ignorance. Anyone managing money probably would like to have as much AUM as they can get. I cant imagine why they would not. I do not charge any fee based upon the AUM, it's based 100% on performance, but the more AUM I have the more money I make. Again I see your new here, so I wont assume anything about you, but I will tell you that making assumptions you have not checked out is a retarded thing to do and will cost you your ass in the market if you continue to do it. G'nite.

It really bothers some people to be called a servant . But that is what they really are. They bow and grovel all for the sake of putting a smile on the faces of the wealthy lords whose flick of the wrist can make or break their fragile financial "empire".

Of course more AUM is a good thing. But some AUM are better than others. If you are in the business, you would know what I mean.

Well, I was meaning to say to a point, but I have had about 3 hours sleep so far this weekend which is probably not all that helpful to me given my overall situation, and even if I was 100% healthy probably wouldnt be either.

The smartest move I ever made was to start hiring Ivy League grads as analysts. I dropped out of the Unv of Iowa when I started making decent money from my site and trading, but my best friend from HS graduated with honors from Cornell and recently from Harvard Law so I had a way to contact some people there. It worked out well for me in building connections, but really anything you can do to expand your social/business network is going to help you out if you want AUM. Here's an example, I'm a poor farm hick from Iowa, a guy who was reading my blogs here on ET about four years ago really identified with me. He was worth about $50 million and lived down in Naples. I drove down, golfed with him we had a great time. He lives in a very exclusive community in Naples, $250,0000 buy in, $10million plus Houses. Chairman of SAP has a house there, former chairman of BAC etc. So, I befriend him and from him I meet a guy an older guy who's been on the board of directors of American Express for years. He grew up in South Dakota, lost an arm as a teenager and scraped his way to the top. Another connection even though I'm just a stupid hick. If your serious about this business, any way you can get em you should. I'm hoping that I have only one more surgery left, then i will give myself a month or so to recover and start again with managing larger amounts of money. It should be a hell of a lot easier this time than it was last time.
