Like, do you ever think, wtf do i have to do?

50 mil by 29..1bil by 34...these are $ he made on his own accord

I mean, what the hell? He can't possess some skill that surely we don't have/can't attain!?

 

Which is what exactly? Granted you have to be a people person etc...

"Natural at what he does?"

Do you think if he wasn't trained individually by Julian Robertson he would be where he is?

Have you guys ever read the book Outliers by Malcom Gladwell? - I'm trying to isolate to figure what trait/experience Chase Coleman was able to use, to get to a point where at 25, Julian Robertson decided to give him capital.

I'm not trying to take away from what he has achieved, but he had quite the leg up coming from a wealthy family and the individually focused professional grooming he received. Now, I'm sure at some level he just has an affinity for what he does so please realize I am not trying to minimized how well he has done but his success is ultimately a combination of the aforementioned things plus skill and talent. Note that talent comes naturally and a skill can be acquired.

Regards
