@tcoste110 I have given up trying to convince outsiders on this point.

@tcoste110 I think this is just a nice way of saying index is for idiots, but damn near all of you are idiots. Sure managing a portfolio is by far the superior option for someone with the toolkit to do so. But there are very very few people who have the entire toolkit necessary to do so.

@tcoste110 The key claim is the uncorrelated 20% return. If you can truly produce that consistently after fees, it’s enormously valuable. The hard part is that very few can.

Retail investors vs. hedge fund managers: who wins? Ex-Tudor quant PM Tom Costello (20%/yr, 1.4% max drawdown) DEBATES Market Wizard Chris Camillo ($20K → $80M, tells you to expect 70% drawdowns). Chris Camillo (Chris Camillo) turned $20K into ~$80M over 18 years, audited by Jack Schwager for Unknown Market Wizards at 77% annualized. Founded TickerTags, sold to Jefferies. Co-founder of Dumb Money. Tom Costello (Tom Coste) ran money at Tudor, Moore Capital, and Caxton. Started as a quant on JPM's exotic swaps desk. Now CIO at Bedrock Digital Assets. We cover: - Why a 50% drawdown is "a career-ending event" for a PM and "completely rational" for a retail investor with a 20-year horizon - Chris's case that everyone should have a levered, concentrated risk bucket, and expect a 70% drawdown in it - Tom's pushback: "At least half of the aspiring engineering students who wanna be day traders are gonna go broke" - Why hedge funds don't beat the S&P, and why that's a category error - 3x leveraged S&P ETFs held for decades: ~1.85x market returns, and the futures roll cost buried inside - The e.l.f. trade: one YouTube video, a full day sitting in a Walgreens, and every cosmetics analyst on Wall Street asleep - Chris spent 5 years selling social data to the biggest funds. They couldn't institutionalize it because "the words keep changing" - Vita Coco: a viral TikTok sound → the biggest quarter in company history → +34% on earnings - Tom's bet: LLMs hand social arb to the quants. Chris: "there's still plenty of time" - "I know very few day traders who ever made anything like real money" - Why Chris gives the strategy away after an 18-year run Highlights: 00:00 Intro 00:50 Who's better positioned to take risk: retail or hedge funds? 05:58 A message from ONYX 06:30 Why a 50% drawdown is rational for concentrated retail capital 08:57 Beta vs alpha: what two-and-twenty actually pays for 18:56 Should retail embrace 70% drawdowns? Bucketing risk capital 23:59 Can ordinary investors really compound 2–3x market returns? 30:08 Fair value, mistakes, and why 99% of day traders lose 35:32 Are 3x leveraged S&P ETFs a long-term buy? 43:31 Too big to fail: AI concentration and the case for leverage 46:06 Situational Awareness, crypto correlation, and overfit backtests 53:44 Social arb explained: Beacon Roofing, Hunger Games, Stranger Things 01:01:07 Is social arb crowded? Tiger Cubs, Ticker Tags, e.l.f. 01:07:42 Will Citadel and LLMs arb away TikTok alpha? 01:17:09 Incentives: why "hedge funds don't beat the S&P" is a category error 01:19:35 Why Chris shares social arb: $20K to $80M and the wealth gap 01:25:45 Closing: retail freedom vs institutional resources

Jordan Belfort (yes, the Wolf of Wall Street) just gave the most boring investing advice you'll ever hear. And he admits that's exactly the problem. When asked what someone just starting out should invest in, his answer was almost anticlimactic: "It's really simple. Just buy a Vanguard No-Load S&P 500 and hold it and don't ever sell it. There you go. And the more money you have, just keep reinvesting and reinvest the dividends and over time you'll do okay." Then he revealed something surprising: "Which is really my whole 401k." The man who built (and lost) fortunes running one of the most aggressive brokerages in history keeps his own retirement money in a plain index fund. His reasoning is grounded in math, not hype: "Even the most successful hedge fund managers can't beat the S&P over the long term. And especially when you're including the fees they charge, the commissions, the tax advantages of buying and holding and reinvesting dividends. So, you're going to end up much much better off. And it's been mathematically proven if you simply buy the S&P and just hold it for 30 years." But here's where it gets interesting. The interviewer pushed back with the real problem: "I tell people that, but it doesn't sound sexy enough." Jordan Belfort 's response cut straight to the conundrum he's now writing an entire book about: "That's the best advice I can give you. But I know you're not going to follow it." So instead of just preaching the index fund gospel, he's accepted reality. People are going to chase the exciting stuff anyway. His book aims to teach them "how to at least navigate these other worlds without getting slaughtered."
