Descriptions:

Jim Simons was a mathematician and cryptographer who realized: the complex math he used to break codes could help explain patterns in the world of finance. Billions later, he’s working to support the next generation of math teachers and scholars. TED’s Chris Anderson sits down with Simons to talk about his extraordinary life in numbers.

  1. I invest with Mrs. Anna Brickman too, she charges a 10%commission on profit made after every trading session which is fair compare to the effort she put in to make huge profits.

  2. He said trend following didn't work by the 1980s.Exactly when the Turtle Traders were doing 200% a year. Jerry Parker still trend follows and has averaged about 20% a year for the past 30 years. There are many different paths.

  3. if you want to fight wall street corruption do what i do invest. i
    invest in amc gme to fight . we have gotten new laws passed and caused
    over 2 billion in losses to hedge funds last year. research ape nation
    if you want to help fight know what your getting into and never invest
    more than you are willing to lose.

  6. This is exactly what we do with Bombe Capital, as well as Turing or Simons, a group of top-level scientists decided to get together to design algorithmic models that predict with unparalleled precision the perfect highs and lows in financial markets and cryptocurrencies, we are achieving it and we are going to create a revolution in the world of investments.

  7. This should be a 2hr long interview.. the rush from the interviewer on the first part ended up being justified by the amazing last half were Jim could talk more freely about how he views the world. Such a fine gentlemen.

  9. It's so frustrating how eager the interviewer is to jump into the conversation and interrupt him. Like, when you are on stage with one of the greatest minds in the history of mathematics, you should shut up and let him talk.

  10. Market hates repetition. It is a great innovator at springing NEW surprises. It tries to beat both the majority and the outliers and leaves everyone with a sense of NEW reality. The keyword is NEW.
    If you can withstand the grind of novelty howsoever harsh it maybe- you win. Sometimes handsomely.

  11. Really glad this genius was interrupted several times by the worst interviewer of all time. When he accepted the interview that was when the teaching moment began.
