Every hedge fund manager brags about their conviction. This EM manager says it's the exact thing that blows up portfolios: Sinan Xin runs an EM tech long/short fund that's beaten MSCI World over 3 years at 30-40% net. Sinan Xin explains: "Conviction is sometimes an abused term in the... long/short hedge fund world." "People love to say they've got conviction. They don't care when the stocks go against them." "It's like a loaded gun. You want to be very careful with the word conviction." "Conviction can also mean bias." "You've done work in a name. It goes against you — but you've got conviction. Which is really a bias toward your own sense of accuracy." "You end up losing money because you've sized the position inappropriately."show more

Martin Shkreli says running a hedge fund is the worst job in the world "That's the thing. I mean, why become a hedge fund manager? I have a friend who wants to start a hedge fund. I told him this is the most painful, horrible business in the world." "If you start a newsletter business that makes $50 million a year of revenue, you've done better than almost every hedge fund on the planet. You do not want to do this job." "And the reason people do it, and I did it too and I would never do it again, is it's the sexiest thing in the world." "I had friends wanting to quit really high profile jobs to be a hedge fund manager. I was just like, you're out of your mind, you don't know what this job is. It's waking up at 3 a.m. checking Korean stock prices, waking back up at 6, wondering what's happening in the world." "There's absolutely no productive thing you're doing. You're providing capital, but other than that you're really playing this high-stakes crazy poker game. It's certainly fun and interesting, but when it's painful and raw..."

Martin Shkreli says running a hedge fund is the worst job in finance, that a newsletter doing $50 million of revenue beats almost every fund on the planet, and that people only take the job because it's the "sexiest thing" being master of the universe. "I have a friend who wants to start a hedge fund. I told him, this is the most painful, horrible business in the world. Why do this?" "If you start a newsletter business that makes $100 million a year, even $50 million a year of revenue, you've done better than almost every hedge fund on the planet." "You do not want to do this job." "And the reason people do it, and I did it too, and I would never do it again, is it's the sexiest thing in the world. You think you're the master of the universe..." "It's waking up at 3 a.m. checking Korean stock prices and waking back up at 6 wondering what's happening in the world."

Scott on why conviction in an idea is dangerous as an investor but required as a founder: "From the investor seat, I don't think you want to be in love with an idea. That's a risky thing because you'll find a way to express that by investing and make some compromises on the team because you know this idea is just so good, its time has come. But if the team isn't there, 90% of the time it doesn't work. Then there's a whole thing can you swap out the team? But the whole Founders Fund thesis was always no, you need the founder to run the company. But on the company side, you have to be in love with the idea. It's not that rational to start a company. There's a lot easier, more comfortable ways to make money if that's the goal. So it's got to be about what the company is doing specifically. If you want to actually start a company, it better be something that you're really passionate about, or you think that the problem is really important."

This money expert says there are no short-term traders consistently outperforming the market over a period of 5+ years. ''It is so rare that anyone can outperform the market. It just doesn't happen.'' ''People that say they swing trade the S&P500 Futures and consistently outperform the market, please go raise a hedge fund because you will be a billionaire.'' ''FOREX is an efficient market, man. Smartest people in the world who's entire job is to outperform the markets, and a basket of hedge funds did not outperform the S&P500 Index.''

Everyone predicted hedge fund capital would consolidate into the Big Four. An ex-Citadel PM says the opposite is happening: Rich Falk-Wallace explains: "Five years ago there was a consensus view that all capital would accrue to the big four multi-managers. Today what's happening is almost the opposite. There's this great fragmentation. Lots of the very successful portfolio managers from those firms are launching their own — and the ability to launch your own hedge fund is easier than ever, if you're focusing on the vertical that you're an expert in. If you're an equity long-short PM, you can launch a new hedge fund with separately managed account, SMA-type capital — where an allocator is looking for you to have some degree of risk limits. Fragmentation's the wrong word — it's an opening up of that market. It's not all the capital turning to those biggest firms."

"There's this feeling that Leopold was the one with the *courage* to take all this risk, or something." "But even that falls flat on a hedge fund manager, I'm afraid." Numerai founder Richard Craib: "Because it's like, someone goes all-in with pocket sevens. And he doubles his money." "Have you learned anything about his courage, or his skill, really? It's a bit foolish." "I also used to think this. I was a young hedge fund manager. I was a 28-year-old hedge fund manager. And I did also have this perception that, surely these big hedge funds are just so risk averse that, for psychological reasons, they refuse to take enough risk." "And I've come to learn that they're taking nearly the exact amount of risk that you should take." "Because these things are mathematical. There's a right amount of risk to take if you have a certain Sharpe ratio. And those numbers are smaller than you think if you want to run money for a very long time." "Leopold was up 400% in H1 of 2026. Well, Warren Buffett was up 5 million percent by basically being sensible for a very long time." "Do you want to do 400%, then lose everything? Or do you want to do the 5 million percent that takes 30 years?" "It's not that some people are unwilling to take risk. It's that they are already taking risk. It's just a small part of their portfolio."

Andy Green talks about the work Freddy Peralta has put in between his starts and how Peralta has dealt with adversity this season: "I think the first thing for him - this is basically important for any competitor to know - this is how great you actually are. When short-term evidence points in the other direction, you have to get back to the mindset of expecting to win and expecting to dominate. The first thing is flipping that feeling that you have after tough outings to conviction. That's work. We don't wake up in the morning after a tough outing and feel great about ourselves. There's not a player in the world that does. The work done to get back to a mind that's positive instead of negative, neutral or stressed, that's part of it. I've been impressed with the way he's gone about this last week. I've been impressed with the way he's carried himself around the clubhouse. Been impressed in our conversations we've had with one another. It's get on the attack and believe you're about to go dominate. Belief precedes performance. It always does. The best players in the world know they're great. We're getting one inducted into the Hall of Fame today that was great, but the belief he had came from the work he did and then also the conviction he took to the box with him as a hitter. Freddy's going to do the same thing today. He's going to face a very good lineup and if you look back historically, he's had a lot of success against a lot of these guys. He's pitched well against some of the best hitters in the world. Why? Because he's one of the best pitchers in the world. He's got to carry himself like that. I don't know that the world loves to hear that because we like to beat up people who are beat up rather than hold people up that are beat up. He's had a tougher year this year, but all of us around him that are part of creating conviction, we're going to build belief in him today and believe it's going to be a great day and go out there and attack those guys and be vintage Freddy Peralta."

In 2005, the highest expected-value career move a finance grad could make was taking the Lehman Brothers offer. A hedge fund manager on why the smartest people make the number one career mistake: Sinan Xin joined Lehman's tech M&A group out of Penn in '06 — now runs a global EM tech long/short fund. Sinan Xin explains: "The number one mistake people make at this stage is going somewhere for what seems like a rational economic outcome." "The reason people do that is because these are intelligent people — making what seems to be a very reasonable and attractive economic choice." "But five, ten years down the line, you're surrounded by people who made the same choice you did — for a different and potentially better reason." "That's when you find you're not as competitive. You're not as passionate about generating alpha on a large cap US portfolio. You're not the expert on squeezing a millionth of a millisecond out of a trade." "Making a decision based on passion rather than pure expected value is more alpha down the line — because the fidelity in calculating those expected values is quite low." "In 2005, the expected value of taking a job offer from Lehman Brothers was quite high. The outcomes were different." "People place too much faith in their own ability to assign correct probabilities to uncertain outcomes."

James Simons, the legendary mathematician who built the single most successful hedge fund ever run, averaging 66 percent a year, decade after decade, without slowing down: "I can show you the exact reason smart people lose money, and it has nothing to do with being smart. It took me years to actually believe my own answer, and believing it changed everything I built after." nobody outside his own firm has heard him explain it this plainly. start with the feeling you already know. you check a position and something in you says you nailed it. the certainty feels earned, feels like proof you understand something other people don't. the next morning you check again. same read, same instincts, same person. now it feels like you never understood anything at all. nothing about how confident you felt yesterday predicted how wrong you'd feel today. most people chase a sharper version of that same feeling. a better instinct, a stronger gut call, one more signal to trust a little more than the last one. he spent years assuming that was the answer too. nobody pitching "high conviction" out loud admits their conviction might be the exact thing costing them money. they just call the losing days bad luck and the winning days skill. zoom out to how this plays out on a desk today. a trade doesn't happen because someone walks in certain they've spotted a winner. it happens because a tested model says so, and only because it says so, no exceptions carved out for a feeling that seems too strong to ignore. the industry sells conviction like it's the whole game. spend enough years watching your own certainty flip on you and you stop believing that. the skill was never having the best gut feeling in the room. it was building something disciplined enough to ignore that feeling completely, every single time, even when it screams at you to make the exception. the edge was never the smartest guess. it was refusing to make one. People pay six figures to sit in a room and hear this. it's in this video. for free.

Black American is honest and says you can’t put Black jurors on cases with Black defendants because they will side with the Black defendant and not convict them She says “A lot of Black people don’t think deeper than race — a lot of black people are bias” “I've been trying to hold myself back from speaking on this subject, the Karmelo Anthony case, but I've been online and I've seen a lot of videos, you know, and I'm learning more and more about it. A lot of Black people don't understand why there are no Black jurors, you know, on the trial. A lot of them don't think deeper than race, you you know, so I'm going to explain it to you. The reason why there were no Black jurors — is because of the response on the internet from Black people about this case, about this situation. A lot of Black people actually believe that Karmelo Anthony is not a murderer — A lot of Black people believe that what Karmelo Anthony did was right. Let me say something. If the roles were reversed, y'all would want the little white boy dead. If a little white boy stabbed a little Black boy at a school track meet, all hell would break loose. Every Black parent, every Black person would be screaming, "Life in prison! The death penalty!" People would definitely be screaming just racism, racism, racism — A lot of Black people are biased” “So no wonder why there were no Black jurors. All because y'all wanted the little white boy to die. Y'all wanted him to die” There is real data to support this Black juries have a 12% conviction rate against black defendants, vs a 59% against whites. So that indicates that there is a 47% interracial bias when you have black jurors White juries have a 33% conviction rate against white defendants, vs a 26% against blacks, which actually demonstrates a negative 7% interracial bias Black juries have a 12% conviction rate against their own race and a 59% conviction rate against white people

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on how difficult it is to shoot over Victor Wembanyama and if he figured out some things he can take into Game 2: "The second part of your question, I probably wouldn't want to say in public because I don't want to give any answers away. But yeah, it's obviously challenging. He's very tall, very long and he deters a lot of things at the rim. You've got to be smart when you go in there. Be patient, but also be aggressive and don't be too timid in there. I think you get caught worrying about it too much and you lose aggression, and that's when they really get a stranglehold on the game. You've got to be able to be aggressive but also be smart."

Naval on when to trust your gut: “I think the gut is what decides. The head is kind of what rationalizes it afterwards. The gut is the ultimate decision-maker. And what is a gut? The gut is refined judgment, it's taste. [The gut is an aggregator]…it could be aggregated through evolution, and it's in your genes, in your DNA, or it could be aggregated through your experiences and what you've thought through. The mind is good at solving new problems, and new problems in the external world that have defined edges, you know, beginnings and ends and objectives. What the mind is actually really bad at is making hard decisions. So when you have a hard decision to make, I find it's better to — yes, you ruminate on it, you think through all the pros and cons — but then you sleep on it, you wait a couple of days, you wait until the gut answer appears with conviction and it feels right. And when you're younger, it takes longer. Because you just don't have as much experience. And when you're older, it can happen much faster. […] It takes time to develop your gut instinct and judgment. But once you've developed them, don't trust anything else. Because you can't go against your gut, it'll bite you in the end.” *** Full episode with Chris Williamson:

This is a big lesson for young pitchers!! Just because a pitch “worked in the lab” doesn’t mean it’s ready for the game. Bullpens are controlled. Games are chaotic. Execution under stress exposes everything... command, shape, conviction. Your stuff can look better in bullpens… or worse. But it will probably be different. Don’t lose what makes you great. Bravo to Crochet & the Red Sox for keeping the main thing the main thing... ..makes it a little easier to make that decision when you've got stuff like this

Sam Altman: "everybody was calling us an idiot" "My highest bit of advice is find the things that you can develop reasonable conviction in that the conventional wisdom says are just wrong. And be okay with it taking a long time and having people be very frustratingly dismissive" "For years at OpenAI, it felt like we knew the biggest secret in the world. Everybody was calling us an idiot, and we had increasing data points to convince ourselves we weren't delusional. It was extremely frustrating. But looking back it was an incredible gift, because it meant we didn't have massive competitors and we had time to build our company" "If you're starting the same startup as everybody else, you get a lot of hype and you can raise a lot of money, but those are much less frequently the big outcomes" "Figure out what the really big brand new thing is that is possible now that wasn't possible a few years ago. The world does not understand how to intuit exponentials, and so they miss it" "If you can figure those out and develop continuing conviction based on more data, be grateful that the world doesn't understand. They will eventually. This is a huge superpower"

🚨| Sir Lewis Hamilton asked 'what advice could you give to Oscar and Lando as they chase their first [wdc] up against somebody of the likes of Max Verstappen?' "It's not their first championship. Obviously, they've won other championships in other categories. So, you know, it's not something... I mean, I don't... I'm not one to really want to give advice to them." "But, I mean, in that scenario, it's challenging when you're in the team. The pressure is high. It's definitely a time where you really have to put your blinkers up. You have to block absolutely everything from the outside. There's so much coming in, positive and negative." "You have to be... you really have to be cutthroat. That's what Max is, you know. He's gonna take this from them if they don't do the same, you know. They've got to be pushing. And you've got to dig deep to be able to... firstly, to be able to hold on [to] someone like Max and in the car that he's in at the moment. But also, for either of them to come out ahead, you know, consistency is key. And you've seen that from Max in the last few races." - F1 2025 Mexico -

I want to know what it's like to be the best in the world? Lewis Hamilton: "It feels pretty special for a short, but a really short space of time. Like, as soon as getting there, getting there, and then it's kind of. I think it's like being at the peak of a mountain. You can only be there for a short period of time, you've got to go down again. And so, it's like the climb down and then the build to trying to do it again.I think from the outside, it looks more than it is,It feels great that you've done it and you're proud of yourself, but then you're like, straight on to the next one"

Martin Casado on why artificial intelligence is the wrong term and why a16z's new fund is called the Machine Age Fund: "Artificial intelligence was the wrong word. It's machine intelligence... because it's not how humans think. It is a cache of human thought." "To date, we don't know how to take an AI with no knowledge and put it out in the world and have it reconstruct language. That's not what we've done. We've built something that can learn off of everything we've already learned and then use that in a productive way." "AI is a general term that goes back 70 years in computer science formally that applies to many different things, and of course it's got a lot of baggage. Either from science fiction or from you know, Nick Bostrom who wrote about it." "You want to emphasize the machine part of it... You've really come to a place where you pour money into something and then you're limited by the actual machines below it. It's a nod to the hardware component is so significant in this wave, and we want to acknowledge that." martin_casado Erik Torenberg
