Andrew Lahde was a hedge fund manager until last year, when he quit after turning an 870% profit. His farewell letter to his clients, in which he inveighs against Congress for failing to curb predatory lending and against our nonsensical marijuana laws, is an entertaining read. “All of this behavior supporting the Aristocracy, only ended up making it easier for me to find people stupid enough to take the other side of my trades. God bless America.”Hat tip to Brother Dean for the link.
