Julian Robertson liegt aber nicht immer richtig ;-)

-->Born: Salisbury, NC in 1933

Employer: Founder/Chairman, Tiger Management Corp.

Most Famous For: A titan of hedge fund investing, his funds today require a minimum investment of $5 million per person. He turned $8 million in 1980 into over $8 billion in the late 1990s.

Less Celebrated For: Remembered for losing $200 million in 1996 when a"bet" on U.S. Treasuries went wrong.

Quote:"[O]ur mandate is to find the 200 best companies in the world and invest in them, and find the 200 worst companies in the world and go short on them. If the 200 best don't do better than the 200 worst, you probably should get in another business."

Background:
At his peak, no one could beat him for sheer stock-picking acumen. Robertson was the"Wizard of Wall Street" and was paid well for it. In 1993, his compensation and share of Tiger's mammoth gain reportedly exceeded $300 million. His current estimated net worth is over $400 million.

Robertson had the best hedge fund record throughout the 1980s and early '90s. The compound rate of return to his investors was 32%.

Because of the"irrational" technology stock craze, Robertson suffered large losses in the late 1990s. This ultimately led him to close his investment company and liquidate its $6 billion in investments - investments which had once reached a high of $26 billion.
