  Came here because of Brady at Numberphile. He did an hour long interview with him. Absolutely incredible.

  How he chose to buy a stock - simple - flicked a coin and head buys. In seriousness that is why many quant hedge funds prefer taking on a maths/physics PhD with no experience. They can train the finance element easy but is hard for a finance PhD to understand some complex maths needed.

  Virtually no one beats the market consistently. And if they can, their information will be more expensive than you could afford to pay.

  It’s so hard to find a genuinely great financial channel on platform filled with swindlers and charlatans. You deserve way more subscribers. Can anyone recommend similar channels to Patrick’s ?

  Before listening to this, my guess is his medallion fund front runs his other funds, helping drive his premier fund through the roof.
