Greenlight Capital is a very interesting and successful hedge fund ran by value investing superstar David Einhorn. The fund has annualized returns at 27% per year for the last 10 years. Einhorn's investment style is especially interesting because he is not afraid to make large, focused bets and because he specializes in special situations, specifically spinoffs.
Focus investing is a concept which has recently seen a resurgence due to the success of Mohnish Pabrai and many other focused hedge funds such as Greenlight. As I recently covered here, spinoff investing is a compelling method of investing which I consider to allow for "structural undervaluation."
Interestingly, Einhorn isn't a one horse pony when it comes to investing. He's also a very talented poker player. In fact, he came in 18th (of 8,773) in the 2006 World Series of Poker for which he took home almost $660,000. This is pertinent because many people believe there is a correlation between excelling in trading/investing and doing well in poker.
