sorry kiddo, we don't all have rich uncles. As someone close to the business, you're deluding yourself if you think the HF manager is after your skillz rather than owes a favor/wants your uncle's money.

Start studying types of coffee, learn about the lunch specials for all restaurants in the area, & get really good at removing staples and then scanning paper.

When you say you gave your wealthy uncle the tip on the stock- do you mean before it was public info? Lol ditto the question for your own magical 120% return when your Dad's company bought the hazmat gear.

would be pretty funny if the dad headed a major F500, and @jswilk was "accidentally" trading on insider info

I suspect the monkey shits are related to "I mostly just wanted to brag;" followed by the discrete "Lastly, I want to ask for advice"
This is what you read like "Hey WSO, hoping I could leverage you guys to jerk my ego off, and be the audience to me BDSing about how spectacular I am vs. probably most of you (I got an internship in high school, duuuuuh). However, before you think I'm just a cocky guy, let me give you the honor of showering me with your advice."
Curiously, you could have avoided this whole situation by inverting your story e.g. start by asking for advice, then telling your story, then lastly bragging... because frankly, the last thing in LIFE you should worry about is bragging.
Go set the world on fire and bless the plebes with your Alpha.

Now that's a much better worded post.
Of all the place you could have chosen to make a mistake in, an anonymous forum is probably the best.
Learn from it and move on.

Hey mate
I'm 16 and I have interned twice at a Hedge Fund. From my experience the guys working in the fund don't give a fuck about if you have some amazing investment plan you've got going. Instead they look for hard workers who have a huge hunger for learning more about financial markets. Not some warrior who made x returns on some stock and they now think they've made it on Wall Street.
I'm gonna be honest and say you sound arrogant and very submissive. If you walk into that Fund and talked about your own investments and how your Warren Buffet. They would either A role their eyes or B tear you to shreds and tell you to not bother coming back. So in short, don't be arrogant and remember your place.
