Great link! Thanks!

What do you do when you have lots of money?? Go back to doing work on research ... amazing. Shaw is chief architect of his Anton supercomputer (and pays it's bills too, i assume)

Chintan,

I don't know how you might answer that but I would guess that both are good. Non-directional, such as market making, is huge too.

Chintan,

Similarly, I don't think there could be a definitive answer. What do you think, am I missing something?
