I have a friend who is a genuine legend in the currency trading business. He retired last year, but before that we worked closely together at one of the largest hedge funds in the world where he was a founding partner. We were talking about politics early in the 2008 presidential campaign and he said that while he preferred a Republican for the well being of the country, the mercenary side of him could be content if the Democrat was elected as well.
Hearing him say so really surprised me. My friend was a financial supporter of the “American Enterprise Institute” a well known conservative think tank in Washington DC, and his conservative credentials were absolutely unimpeachable. More than that, he was one of the most intelligent, introspective and generous people I knew; he was hardly the self absorbed “my ego is my whole world” type I’ve come to recognize as being typical of New York City liberals.
