Money under management[edit]

Skeptator, Please stop changing the "money under management" figure to $300-400 odd million. That figure is incorrect. You're misreading the 13-F filings. A filing for "equity under management" is not complete. The firm holds both cash and equities under management. At any point in time, they (like most investment firms) are not "fully invested." I have consulted them, and they say that they currently have $650 under management total. Yet, for months, I've had to constantly change that figure back because you (or others) keep reverting it. Please stop reverting to this incorrect number. ask123 (talk) 15:54, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Met Irving for Lunch when he was 104[edit]

A few years ago I met Irving for lunch (at the time he was 104) ad we had a very nice discussion and shared a sandwich (and then he fell asleep in the middle of the meeting, I have had that effect on people of lesser age). At the time he told me about his experience as a runner on the New York Stock Exchange just shortly before the great depression. He took his whole net worth (about $100) and shorted the market on margin just before the great crash, with all the older folks telling him he was nuts for doing so. From that start he parlayed his fortune. He also stated that he was as old as he was rich, with this gentlemen being rich not only monetarily but also personally. He also was a founder of CFA's. None of these facts come through in this biography and might want to build it out to reflect a Wall Street Icon who cuts an impressive figure.--Lfrankblam (talk) 20:29, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
