There
are great traders. I try to differentiate between traders and
investors. Roy Neuberger, whom I once worked for, was astonishing. I
just could not conceive of how good he was at short-term timing and
trading. Mike Steinhardt was an awfully good trader and timer of making
investments. Mike might disagree, but I always viewed him as more of a
trader than investor because he did have such a good sense of market
timing. There must be plenty of guys, good market timers, short-term
traders.
