Looks and Talent

By now you probably all watched the popular video on YouTube of Susan Boyle singing. It’s a shocker because she sings much better than she looks. It reminds me this guest lecture from Robert Shiller’s Financial Markets class at Yale.

This guy looks like a bus driver (no offense to bus drivers). If you watch how he speaks, you’ll see he’s not a smooth talker. He speaks slowly, with a lot of "um" and "uh" in his sentences as if his brain couldn’t keep up with his speech buffer. Who is this guy speaking to Yale students? He’s Andrew Redleaf, a successful hedge fund manager. There’s more about him in this New York Times article: A Hedge Fund That Saw What Was Coming. Watch his guest lecture. At the end you will probably agree he knows what he’s talking about.
