## Jim Simons Principles 1. Be guided by beauty. Just as a great theoram can be very beautiful, a business managed efficiently can be beautiful. 2. Sorround yourself by the smartest and best people you can possibly can have, and let them do their thing. 3. Don’t run with the pack. If everyone is trying to solve the same problem or a group of people think something is the great thing to do - don’t do that. “I’m not the fastes runner, i’m not the fateste thinker”. Do something original and don’t follow the pack. 4. Don’t give up easily. Stick with it. Not forever - but really give it a chance. 5. Hope for good luck. This is the most important principle.
It's helpful to see Jim talk about math. It reinforces the truth that you aren't smart enough to do what he did.
Jim never gave out his secret sauce. He was such a brilliant dude. God bless him may he rest in peace. He is a hero of mine.
Jim, you’ve totally changed the way I live. Now I seek beauty in everything I do, and I’ve learned how important it is to wish for “good LUCK.”
For the last 10 years Mr Simon's has been a great window to what's possible.
Always nice, wonderful to here Jim...RIP
Best news of this is that he's finally writing his memoirs
Jim simons. Is so great he is very generous... He gave hints about his strategy very long ago.. But people should have phd in mathematics , quantum physics , astronomy and computer science.. To understand it.. And nobody takes such pain nor they are curious enough to learn all those.. Soo..no money hunny..
i have listened to Zuckerman's audiobook 100 times. A huge key takeaway for me....Simons was persistent for years pushing towards systemization when no one was doing it. Also, his hiring and management of staff was nothing short of brilliant. I have started 7 businesses...doing what he did, when he did it, how he did it and today they are stronger than ever is rare rare rare.
This man is brilliant, the knowledge that is needed to even understand what he says is insane, we’ve tried to break it down in our video, hopefully it will give you a better view of how you can learn and do exactly like Jim
"Chern said it should be multidimensional, and I said OK." That's his quote I try to remember.
They have the father of quant investing to make a rare appearance on stage and this pair ask some of the most tedious, pedestrian questions...Jim had to ask several times what exactly they were asking
Vague, unassuming, humble. The genie lives in the algo. The brilliance does not live in his presentation.
What a legend this guy is!
Very good interview
Don't follow the pack. Don't run with the pack. Do something original. Don't give up easily, stick with it.
Thank you Jim <3 forever loved
Bless him, he now looking very tired
Where can we find Simon’s thesis ? He said they are in the ‘annal’? Thx
