They’re more than smart investors. They’re iconoclasts and trendsetters, men like Julian Robertson, Michael Steinhardt, and Boone Pickens, who’ve created the trillion dollar hedge fund industry. Relentlessly curious and coolly analytical, they see opportunities others miss and take huge gambles. They’ve survived financial turmoil and industry shakeouts. In Hedge Hunters, they reveal the thinking behind their most insightful market moves and their strategies for winning in good times and bad. What’s more, they name the peoples they believe share their gift for money management, the ones who will face similar challenges in turbulent markets.
