Thanks for blogging on this. I’m no longer very updated on this, but there are companies aside from GS like Renaissance Technologies who are doing well on Wall Street. However, it is very secretive and there’s only few info regarding the company. You may want to look at the Wikipedia entry

Anyway, thanks again for the information.

The amount of $15 billion under management seems to be too big for a company that has only around 300 employees.
Their funds are made available to selected investors only as evidenced by their website. Very secretive. I just hope this is not another Madoff in the making.
