Message: It seems most of these guys got started off their own backs. From what I've read most of them just started trading their own accounts and gained funds via word-of-mouth. What do people reckon the chances are these days of someone similar starting their own fund without working in a big IB? Are the markets too sophisticated these days? (e.g. most of the now-famous hedge fund managers started trading in the 70's).
