    particular stock so you got so many shares that your John Holmes on it
  • 00:08:55
    you know doing a deal is really fantastic
  • 00:08:58
    riding a pony is just as good because it's about being better being the best
  • 00:09:02
    being number one it's all about winning and when you get it you have to hit it
  • 00:09:08
    with the open face of the mallet just practice just like that there you go
  • 00:09:12
    beautiful there you go beautiful move your mouth back now quick almost I love
  • 00:09:23
    the power of horses their energy just the force and form a unity with them and
  • 00:09:29
    just conquer the world I started writing when I was eight or nine I got private
  • 00:09:34
    lessons every single day and I wrote numerous tournaments but then it kind of
  • 00:09:38
    subsided because I started attending law school and had enough time for it
  • 00:09:42
    anymore come on Oh almost a on that's so
  • 00:09:47
    annoying forward now okay good try I think I need to get a feel on how to hit
  • 00:09:52
    the ball so I just try without the mallet once just to get it well okay
  • 00:09:56
    this is really great because I get to tell sandy what to do she doesn't always

    and start doing you have to really be an experienced rider Isis very comfortable
  • 00:10:22
    on the horse because really when you're trying to hit the ball you may hit their
  • 00:10:26
    face you may hit their feet or they side and they do not get freaked out at all
  • 00:10:31
    starring at Steve just elements that you're not used to like the mallet

    the close on Friday and Monday morning there's no way that we can affect what
  • 00:13:40
    we do we couldn't trade if we wanted to at this point anyway so you come out to
  • 00:13:45
    a place like this and you and you rest you have got to shut down a little bit
  • 00:13:50
    it is not possible to always be wound up I mean there are guys who do that and
  • 00:13:54
    then suddenly they drop dead good boy you know I was an athlete my entire life
  • 00:13:59
    of pointing to the last three four years I'm undoing the last 20 as a consequence
  • 00:14:04
    of really being noticed the grind seven where he gets things done
  • 00:14:09
    what I've done is basically replicated exactly what I have on my desktop in my
  • 00:14:14
    office out of the beach so that I can see precisely what's going on I can see
  • 00:14:19
    literally every single thing that I see in the city a weekend it allows me to
  • 00:14:23
    relax even a little bit more because I'm not worrying about rushing into the
  • 00:14:27
    office on Monday to figure out what to do next what did the market do what did
  • 00:14:32
    what we own and what we're sure do what groups are strong what groups are weak
  • 00:14:36
    that's not something we want to leave for five or six o'clock on Monday
  • 00:14:39
    morning there's far too much else going on in the way of real news it never
  • 00:14:44
    stops this is a business if you don't control
  • 00:14:46
    it it is definitely going to take control and control you it's very hard
  • 00:14:53
    to draw the line and networking doing personal interaction and business
  • 00:14:57
    because oftentimes it over left I really enjoy being a deal maker putting
  • 00:15:04
    together the deals but part of that is to raise money for those funds so I have
  • 00:15:09
    a lot of context in the institutional work after you've known them for a while
  • 00:15:13
    it's very familiar kind of relationship and you contact them and you say hey I
  • 00:15:17
    know this guy and his investment strategy as follows and he has had
  • 00:15:21
    really good returns with low volatility and typically they start funding at 25
  • 00:15:26
    million and up we don't even say million now and just talk about 25 50 100 200
  • 00:15:31
    that's usually how it goes
  • 00:15:35
    I believe once to report the two highest IQ job The Wall Street and Chris you can
  • 00:15:47

  • 00:17:20
    than that that's my pride and joy everywhere I go
  • 00:17:24
    the people stop me and look at it it's just a blast from what they won they
  • 00:17:27
    bought it every time I take this bike out I'm enjoying myself
  • 00:17:38
    borrow money I love coming to the beach because it's the quickest and surest way
  • 00:17:48
    to decompress it's very quiet here it's never crowded because it's a private
  • 00:17:54
    beach and just seeing the water and inhaling fresh air is a great change to
  • 00:18:00
    New York I come out to the Hamptons usually on Friday I'm invited my friend
  • 00:18:04
    Bluff houses here like this weekend it's a couple venom staying with and their
  • 00:18:10
    children so it's a very nice atmosphere very kind of family-oriented because of
  • 00:18:14
    my job and because of where I live everything is kind of a headache a
  • 00:18:18
    little bit so here it's easy I'm from Dusseldorf which is in the West
  • 00:18:25
    western Germany closes on the former capital I don't miss Germany too much
  • 00:18:30
    I'm I'm too busy and also New York has too much to offer
  • 00:18:35
    you know you know people to work and they invite you to their parties and
  • 00:18:39
    then they introduce you to their families and and there you meet other
  • 00:18:43
    people who may become primarily personal context but it may also always play into
  • 00:18:48
    business you go to one party you get ten invitations for other parties it's kind
  • 00:18:53
    of a snowballing effect sometimes it's even hard to streamline it because I do
  • 00:18:58
    have to work for a living
  • 00:19:07
    when I think of Wall Street I primarily think of the type of people in a truck
  • 00:19:11
    and I would say it attracts mostly very goal-oriented persistent resilience
  • 00:19:16
    types of people people who know that there's only one bottom line and that
  • 00:19:22
    bottom line is how much money you make right shot
  • 00:19:39
