    I can’t fault John Paulson for making money … he’s one of only a handful of Managers that have MADE money for his clients, fund, and himself. I don’t punish Paulson for betting against th economy, he was smart in doing so – executing his strategy and timing it perfectly. If only I was a savvy investor and had the coin to put up, I would love to be an investor in his fund. I figure if he could make that much for his clients in today’s economy … image what he’s capable of in the near future.

    BTW, When is the movie “Broke” coming out? I saw you in Preview and it looks interesting!

    Cramer is no longer a Hedge Fund Manager (left in 2001?) – Manager you would want to look for would be Jeff Berowitz – took over the firm
