Is anyone else a little sketched out by the backgrounds on some of the Renaissance Technologies analysts? As someone that works in the asset mgmt industry, you typically see people with real investing experience on their resume. I'll start with the top and work my way down. 1/7

Robert Mercer - at least he had some real (non-academic) experience before joining, but it was at IBM? Not a good sign tbh, fairly sure this is not useful for a career in asset management. 4/7

Peter Brown - another one from IBM, where do they keep hiring from this loser boomer company? 5/7

James Ax - a child. Only experience is in “Diophantine equations” which is worrying, not even capable of handling non-integer solutions to equations? 6/7
