Bloomberg Interview: With Famous Investor Julian Robertson
Here is a video with one of the investing titans, Julian Robertson, who we can all learn from. I don’t agree with all of his stock picks but I think we can learn a lot from Mr. Robertson’s humility and temperament. (We thank Todd Sullivan for recommending this video)
Video Introduction and Speaker: Julian Robertson Background (Via Wikipedia)
Robertson founded the investment firm Tiger Management Corp. He is credited with turning $8 million in start-up capital in 1980 into over $22 billion in the late 1990s, though that was followed by a fast downward spiral that ended with the funds’ closing in 2000. In 1993, his compensation and share of Tiger’s gain exceeded $300 million. His 2003 estimated net worth was over $400 million, and in 2008 it was estimated at $1.8 billion. Robertson is thought to have shorted the sub-prime. Having long warned of a coming credit crisis, Robertson’s bet may have paid off handsomely: his current wealth is estimated by some to exceed $3 billion.
