Not quite, very charming and probably it was intentional. I held my breathe😀. She is intelligent and know her stuff deeply.

[@micahol69420]

Pretty brave of Steve to attend something like this prior to his bankruptcy.

[@zanerianom1692]

what bankruptcy lmfao

[@gunner8216]

You must be one of the reddit traders who don't understand anything

[@Stoneface_]

@@zanerianom1692 He's a AMC/GME guy who thinks hedgefund managers like Steve Cohen and Ken Griffin are going bankrupt. You know, mother of all short squeeze. They're deluded..

[@eddierosario1537]

I didn’t know being a billionaire was considered being bankrupt

[@JT13974]

Thanks Steve....for excellent heights into the industry!
PS: You may want to work on being more convincing!!

Wow they’re talking about Reddit a lot

[@JoseSanchez-wd8im]

Because reddit is gonna wipe them out lol. At least some (point 72)👀

Still one of the craziest things to have happened in 2021 imo

[@steverogers5956]

@@JoseSanchez-wd8im a tiny few. The hedge fund industry overall had its best 6-month performance ever in the first half of 2021. Most of them aren't involved in or affected by the whole meme stock thing.

[@JoseSanchez-wd8im]

@@steverogers5956 because the market is in a bubble. Have you seen the s&p 500 lol

[@steverogers5956]

@@JoseSanchez-wd8im of course it's in a bubble, but anyone who thinks Reddit is going to wipe out hedge funds is dreaming.

[@felicitymasiu96]

🤣🤣🤣Steven cohen back again.

[@eateator]

Can hedge funds seek ethics and equity instead of alpha?

[@arthurvivan1]

Do it by yourself, leave them working.. mania for giving opinions in the work of others kkkkkkk

[@steverogers5956]

They are handling other people's money. If the investors want ethics and equity, the fund managers will seek ethics and equity.

[@Markdfadf]

I am reading this over and over and can't stop laughing. What the fuck does that even mean?

[@gcg8187]

if you want "diversity" then do interviews behind a screen. also, diversity is skin color is a pedantic waste of effort. like the lady said, diversity of thought can be helpful. Maybe y'all should hire me, I used to be a classical musician!
