Nice Work If You Can Get It
It paid to be a top-performing hedge fund manager in 2011—very, very well for the some of the biggest names in the industry, in fact. Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio was named the highest-paid hedge fund manager of the year by Forbesmagazine’s annual list of the 40 best-paid hedgies, which estimates that Dalio earned $3 billion…

It was like buying or selling a bet on a horse, halfway…
The Top Five Regrets Of The Dying
There was no mention of more sex or bungee jumps. A palliative nurse who has counselled the dying in their last days has revealed the most common regrets we have at the end of our lives. And among the top, from men in particular, is ‘I wish I hadn’t worked so hard’. More from the…
Worth 15 Minutes
Humans were built to move – we did not evolve to sit on our arses. As a consequence we are not very good at sitting.
