On today’s show we talk about legendary billionaire quant investor, Jim Simons. I know this doesn’t sound even believable, but Simon’s achieved a 66% annual return since 1988 before fees for his investors. To talk about this recluse investing legend, we have the author of the best selling book, “The Man Who Solved the Market” by Gregory Zuckerman. This is a fascinating discussion. So let’s go ahead and dive in.
