I want an aunt like that

No One: Absolutely no one: KZfaq Algorithm: A look inside hedge funds at 2 am

You are an incredible teacher. Not everyone who knows about hedge funds can provide us with such a clear explanation

the way he throws the pen at the end of his lectures cracks me up..very informative and well presented

I know nothing about 3/4 of what you just said, but I'm learning and I really appreciate you to taking the time to explain things so well.

amazingly good presentation skill.

Paddy you are such a natural and very pleasant to learn from. Your voice pitch is stable not like some arrogant over the top teachers/lecturers. Just wanted to express that, I love it when learning is so easy and pleasant with such individuals as you. Love and peace.

Looking at video quality, had a doubt that this video might be old..... didn't expect this old 😢. Old is gold

You should have your own television segment or be on the news after this very clear and succinct explanation of what I thought to be comprehensibly impenetrable. You did what many a qualified teacher could only dream of doing of unpacking what a hedge fund is, and breaking it down into bite-sized chunks. I'm all the wiser for your teaching ability and your expertise. Keep up the good work.

Simple explanations that make sense. That's what makes a good educator. I know these videos are from way back, like the recession of 2008, but they stand out as useful bite-sized lessons. They've earned this channel a new subscriber.

Finally! So glad I found this. Absolutely the best explanation of hedge funds on the Internet. Clear and simple terms and presented so well. Thank you!

This guy is awesome! I used to watch these videos when I was studying my undergrad in psychology and desperately seeking a way into finance/business. 2 years after graduating (following a post graduate conversion course) and I'm working in FS for a Big 4 firm and I still find myself watching his videos, so thank you sir!

when he said "buccaneer Capital", I thought to myself " that's a sexy name", and exactly 2 sec later he said "very sexy name" little things like this make my day P.S. its technically night time right now

A true born teacher. Thank you. : )

This is one of the best videos I have ever seen on the topic. Thanks! :)

Paddy, these videos are a great help, thank you so much. I just started a new job for a metal trading company, as a trader assistant. Read a lot of explanations and books on the subject, options, OTC, futures, TAPO so on. While i can understand the principle, its still nice to see it explained in an easy and simple way. Which only confirms what i already learned. Helps with my confidence too, as i now know that the info i read has stuck somewhere in the depths of my memory.

I rarely, if ever, comment on videos. This is so clear and well presented. Subscribed.

so much for my irish race horses

even 13 years later, these are gold-standard content.

When you learn _and_ the teacher makes you feel good :-D

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!! GREAT EXPLANATION!!!

Good information Paddy. My only request is that your video/camera man get a shot of you and the board FULLY. There are some parts of the video that the camera man is moving the camera on the speaker, then we lose sight of some of the points made earlier in the video (some are cut off). If you re-shoot this, please keep these points in mind. Thank you.

Never realised this was over 10 years old, still a good and valid explanation, done clearly with good humour .... from UK (Wales)

paddy you do a great job in all your videos...you make it simple to understand and enjoyable to watch....love all your videos

Thank you for this explanation, it is most appreciated.

So far this explanation made the most sense to me

Great video, thanks. 2008 (year of this video) would've been an interesting year for learning financial concepts. Finance degrees taught today have retrospective and loads of material on the housing bubble pop in U.S. I imagine teaching finance to a classroom in 2008, meanwhile thousands of Americans are losing their shirts, the economy is tanking, and wall street is on the hot seat, would've been an awkward time.

Excellent explanation.

Brilliant presentation! The entire hedge thing is now much clearer to me. Thank you.

That was the most succinct explanation of a concept that I have seen in quite a while👍

best explanation i ever came across! good job and thank you:)

Excellent: brief, easy to understand, and to the point. Thanks!

Thank you very much for these videos Paddy Hirsh. They are really good. Keep uploading more of them.

haha! you're seriously really good at this explanation! i spent 3 weeks in a course learning this, and you managed to do it in 10 mins!

Excellent videos. I like the way everything is explained. Please keep publishing videos. Great work!

Brilliant....thanks for posting. You make a great teacher.

Once worked at a supermarket. Now im hedging options 1:100 with succes because of u 👏

Thank you for helping to educate the average viewer.

Great explanation! Very useful for beginners, thank you!

I have challenged myself to put away 50% of my monthly income into stock options which is quite easy since I live frugal without debt. I work as an account executive, and make over $20000. $10000 goes into dividends, and the other $10000 covers my my food plus living expenses. I am seeing improvements in my portfolio, dividends look certain, but I have to attribute this to only to guidance of a licensed fund manager who allocates funds to a plethora of assets. I have to stay disciplined, and remember that I’m in it for the long term. Good luck to everyone and thanks for the great video.

You are a great teacher. Thank you so much

Awesome explanation.love from India....Thank u sooooo much sir.

Thanks for this video. Even one of my highly respected lecturer who claims to know everything doesn't know about this :)

S+ Tier vids. Mastery of the concepts are present since you can explain topics in a fun way without even reaching 1hour

After earning thousands of dollars investing in a reputable company, I dare not doubt the trading market, with the right skill you will be making a fortune in the market.
