Saturday's Wall Street Journal featured a must-read interview with Steve Cohen. Cohen heads S.A.C. Capital Management (SAC), a $10 billion hedge fund. His net worth is estimated at $3 billion.
If you happened to read the article, you would have noticed the mention of one Dr. Ari Kiev.
"He (Cohen) installed a psychiatrist, Ari Kiev, part-time in an office off the trading floor, and told traders Dr. Kiev could help them overcome such weaknesses as fear of taking trading risks. "Most people trade with a notion of avoiding failure," says Dr. Kiev, who says he teaches traders "skills for mastering their own discomfort.""
Interestingly enough, Bodog Nation spoke with Dr. Kiev last year.
