James Simons on C-Span

Here’s a clip of James Simons, the legendary hedge fund manager, at yesterday’s National Governors Association’s Winter Meeting. Simons is a former math professor and founder Renaissance Technologies which runs the Medallion Fund.
I know he’s a genius and a multi-billionaire, but he still looks like he belongs on Seinfeld. Couldn’t you see him playing one of Jerry’s uncles or something? Maybe it’s me. Anyway, Simons begins speaking about nine minutes into the clip.
