Wiped-Out Hedge Fund Manager Confessed His Losses On YouTube
FYI: It looks like the hedge-fund equivalent of a hostage video.
James Cordier, in a dark suit, cuff links and expensive-looking watch, sits in a brown leather chair and stares into a camera, his hands folded in front of him.
Investing over time tends to humble all of us. Sometimes I think we need a thread about our dumbest investments or decisions over the years.
@Ted - Your 1-2 minute clip seemed so tantalizing I located the full 10-minute Utube video of Mr. Cordier speaking to the camera. Hope that's OK. Here's the full 10-minutes worth.

And, in keeping with the spirit of contriteness, here's a video of Louis Rukeyser back in 1987 trying to make sense of a disastrous week in the markets. Interestingly, both videos run about 10 minutes. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XFn1G2goDQw
