So long, suckers. Millionaire hedge fund boss thanks 'idiot' traders and retires at 37

The boss of a successful US hedge fund has quit the industry with an extraordinary farewell letter dismissing his rivals as over-privileged "idiots" and thanking "stupid" traders for making him rich.

Andrew Lahde's $80m Los Angeles-based firm Lahde Capital Management in Los Angeles made a huge return last year by betting against subprime mortgages.

Yesterday the 37-year-old told his clients that he had hated the business and had only been in it for the money. And after declaring he would no longer manage money for other people, because he had enough of his own, Lahde said that instead he intended to repair his stress-damaged health; he made it clear he would not miss the financial world.


His final words of advice? "Throw the Blackberry away and enjoy life."

The Wall Street Journal is already (secretly) Free

The easy way to get WSJ articles for free (but you don't get all stories):

If you're not a Journal subscriber and would like to read an article that's locked away, here's the first, easiest thing to try: Search for the story's headline in Google News.

On Friday, for example, the Journal published four articles on its front page. Two were available for all, while the following two were offered to subscribers only: "$100 Billion Power Deal Moves Closer in Europe" and "(New Math) x (SEC Rules) + Proxy=Confusion."

Both those locked headlines are in Google News. A search there for "$100 Billion Power Deal Moves Closer in Europe" brings up a Journal link -- click on it, and you get the whole story. Similarly, search for "(New Math) x (SEC Rules) + Proxy=Confusion" and you'll get that piece, too.

Many Journal articles can be accessed this way. But some cannot -- when you search for them in Google News, you don't find a link.

So what to do? If you use Firefox and are comfortable with installing add-ons -- and really, there's nothing difficult about it -- read on for the advanced method, which gives you access to the full WSJ site for free.

Heckadecimal : The Rubber Shorts -- Free Album

After his subtle yet somewhat disturbing showing on FK's Computer Controlled Substances compilation, Heckadecimal graces us yet again with a fantastic ep of new and original tracks. Armed with a well-sized flotilla of synths and drum-machines, his approach to music and its process is elusive. A healthy mix of sonic textures but familiar and obscure, "The Rubber Shorts" is a timeline beginning with languishing acid-lines and squishy percussion, finishing out with musical phrases and overtures truly of another planet.
