Genetic Love, Investor Fail, and Who is the Biggest Hedge Fund Incubator?

About a year and half ago I wrote an article on mate compatibility.  (Long time blog readers recall that I was a genetics/gene therapy student in a former life…)  There was one company attempting to match partners based on the findings (Scientific Match, lifetime membership $2,000), but I saw the real killer app as offering the test separately to couples and especially would be couples.  A new Swiss-based website is offering it now for $100 – GenePartners.  Unfortunately the test specifics and algorithms are not public.

Anyone tried it?

Reminds me of my favorite bionerd joke :”If I were an enzyme I would be DNA helicase so I could unzip your genes.”

I wrote about this awhile back, nice follow up on how investors consistently buy high, then sell much, much lower.  Happens over, and over, and over again.

Seriously, who has spawned the most AUM?

I think this would be a fun topic for a book….Tigers vs. Turtles vs. Commodities Corp vs. Rubin’s Desk vs. Soros (any big ones I’m missing?)
