  How Math Broke Las Vegas and Wall Street - Edward Thorp

  Sep 21, 20261h 6m

  In 1959, a mathematician at MIT sat down at an IBM mainframe and ran thirty-four million simulated hands of blackjack. He proved the house could be beaten — then walked into Las Vegas and did it. But the casinos were only the warm-up. For nearly twenty years, Edward Thorp ran a hedge fund that never had a single losing quarter: through the 1973 crash, through Black Monday, through interest rate chaos. No down quarter. Not one. Then federal agents walked through the door. Part of the Sleepy Stock Market series — financial history told as documentary audio.

  Joel Greenblatt - The Investor Who Gave the Secret Away

  Sep 14, 20261h 5m

  In 1985, a 27-year-old from Long Island walked into the most powerful financial office in America with no track record, no fund, and seven million dollars worth of nerve. He built a portfolio of six to eight stocks at a time, ignored everything Wall Street found exciting, and compounded money at fifty percent a year for a decade. Then he gave the whole method away for free. Two years of his students quietly laughing at his old-fashioned criteria. Then the Nasdaq collapsed. He made one hundred and fourteen percent in a single year. Patience paid. Every time. Part of the Sleepy Stock Market series — financial history told as documentary audio.

  John Templeton: The World's Greatest Bargain Hunter

  Sep 7, 20261h 1m

  November 1939. Europe is burning, Wall Street is terrified, and every serious investor is moving into cash. A 26-year-old broker from a Tennessee town of two thousand people walks into his boss's office and asks to borrow ten thousand dollars — to buy over a hundred stocks, including dozens already in formal bankruptcy. No exceptions. No filters. He had spent years building the idea that the best moment to buy was when everyone else was too afraid to. He was about to find out if he was right. The ten thousand dollars became forty thousand. That was just the beginning.

  How $8.8M Became $22B Then Vanished - A 259,000% Gain -Gone - Julian Robertson

  Aug 8, 20261h 15m

  In May 1980, Julian Robertson started a hedge fund with $8.8 million borrowed from friends and family. Eighteen years later, it was worth $22 billion — a gain of over 259,000 percent, outpacing the S&P 500 by nineteen percentage points every single year. He had survived Black Monday, exposed a billion-dollar copper fraud, and built an army of disciples who would go on to manage hundreds of billions. Then, in the spring of 2000, he walked away — not because he was wrong, but because the market refused to admit he was right. Being right too early cost him everything.

  The Reddit Trade That Broke a Hedge Fund - Gamestop

  Aug 6, 202659 min

  In June 2019, a financial wellness educator from Brockton, Massachusetts put $53,000 into a stock every Wall Street professional had written off as dead. He posted his analysis on a forum built around catastrophic losses, wore a red headband on YouTube, and held his position through two years of decline, public mockery, and regulatory scrutiny. Then January 2021 arrived — and a Reddit community, a viral tweet, and the most extreme short position in the American market collided in 72 hours of trading that erased nearly $20 billion from some of the most powerful hedge funds on earth. Sometimes the most dangerous investor in the room is the one nobody is watching.
