From Greg Zuckerman, Wall Street Journal, on Jim Simons, here…

Adapted from “The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution” by Wall Street Journal special writer Gregory Zuckerman, to be published on Nov. 5 by Portfolio, an imprint of Penguin Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Random House LLC.

Here are some quotes I liked from the article:

“He had the buy-low part, but he didn’t always have the sell-high part,” Mr. Simons later said about Mr. Baum.”

”If you make money, you feel like a genius,” he told a friend. “If you lose, you’re a dope.””

And, here is a select group that Simons led:

Commodity Research Group (CRG), founded by veteran analyst Edward Meir, is an independent research consultancy specializing in base and precious metals, as well energy products. The Group provides research and general price analysis for these markets, along with advice to companies seeking to construct commodity hedging strategies.

Our associates bring decades of experience to the table, as they seek to help our clients understand the markets. CRG will distill the myriad of pricing variables mentioned above into coherent research that is to-the-point and tailored to a clients hedging or pricing needs. In addition, CRG is available for consulting assignments and speaking engagements. CRG does not manage money or trade for itself.
