Really enjoying episode 183 at the moment.   Hadn't heard the story of Jim Simons and Rennaisance.  Love this quote from Gregory Zuckerman that wrote the book on Simons:

For all the unique data, computer firepower, special talent, and trading and risk-management expertise Renaissance has gathered, the firm only profits on barely more than 50 percent of its trades, a sign of how challenging it is to try to beat the market—and how foolish it is for most investors to try.
