Hedge Fund Manager Throws In the Towel so he Can pursue Smoking Marijuana!
Sunday, October 19th, 2008Ok so maybe this isn’t exactly what he’s doing but i thought this was a funny topic to cover. A very successful small time hedge fund manager by the name of Andrew Lahde threw in the towel just recently after having a 1000% return on his fund in 2007 betting against the mortage sub primes using derivatives.
He wrote a letter on the 17th to his clients stating his reasoning’s for dropping out of the business…. I.e. i hate the hedge fund industry, made some coin, not managing anyone’s money anymore, don’t bother me, i’m fuckin outa here… basically it what it says.
Then interestingly enough, his last paragraph of the letter he goes into the importance of hemp and how it was used to create the first American flag, the constitution, and how stupid it is that marijuana is illegal? HAHA what a weird what to end your letter of departure. He’s obviously a big stoner and is pissed that he can’t take his lunch break and take some bong rips in the cafeteria. If you care about weed being illegal then your basically pinned as a pot head. I for one hate the stuff, sure i toked up all the time in highschool but learned to hate it as i got older, it makes me paranoid as hell! So i could care less if its illegal. In fact i’m glad it is, i think it makes you lazy, unmotivated, dumb, and makes you think you come up with really good ideas when your high when in fact when im standing here listening to you sober….. your ideas are fuckin retarded…for the most part… referring to my stoner friends haha…
Anyways heres the letter to his investors. Its actually a good one i just thought it was interesting how he threw his thoughts on how dumb he thought it was that weed is illegal into it and he does make some good points. Weed really isn’t that bad. I’d have to say 70% of the people i know smoke the swedish cheeba. Paris loves tokin.
