What year is that from?
I don't think it's recent -- it still has Timothy Sykes as a hedge fund manager (he closed that fund a few years back)
hmm...is that Shiat LaDouche as your picture?
This is an old list.
When he refers to the "top 3" I assume he saw a clip where some guys from a magazine were trying to re-start the top 30 under 30 idea. Only for the first year, they tried to focus on guys who were doing extremely well and they only did a top 3.
OP whats with you and digging posts of the good ole days?
2008 is over guy, the game has got a lot harder now.
i think this was from 2007. The idea of a "top 30 under 30" list is ridiculous anyway....trading should be measured strictly by PnL over a long period of time so definitionally you cant be a "top trader" when you are under 30. Show me the top 30 over 50 and they'll be some impressive track records/bios that are worth reading.
Trader Magazine was quite possibly the douchiest publication since Douche Monthly.
