With Apologies to Carly Simon, by George Zachar
You walked in to the meeting like you were walking on to a yacht
Your eyes strategically scanning the crowd for someone you thought was smart
You ran through the usual Power Point slides as you plotted your comeback
And all the quants dreamed that they'd join your hedge fund they'd join your hedge fund and
You're so vain...
George Zachar is principal of Greensward Capital, a money management and trading firm in New York. He focuses on U.S. and European debt futures and options thereon. "I try to integrate market directional and volatility trades, with "living to fight another day" my central guiding philosophy," Zachar says. "When I was a child, I remember watching a cheesy spy movie, where one spook says to his opposite number, "The object of the game is to stay in the game."
