If this author was to write a similar article on, say, "How to play the flute" it would probably read: - Buy a flute - Blow into one end - Press the various buttons and levers - Make sure you perform at least once at Carnegie Hall

The clues are nothing for the American people and rogue finance shop...

it's funny that the reward of starting a hedge fund is 'marry that yoga instructor'. 1. seems like a pretty indirect strategy for getting what you want. 2. quite an insult to the yoga teachers.

as far as your "indirect strategy" comment goes, this is something that i have been thinking about. on the one hand it's extremely inefficient to try to build great wealth in order to get a date; on the other hand, sublimated sex drive can be a powerful impetus... known colluder dave mcclure, for example, says that a good reason to start a startup is that "you can't get laid".
