Business Week – In late January, billionaire Steven A. Cohen hosted a golf outing for two dozen people at the Bear Lakes Country Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Most of his guests were investors in his hedge fund firm, SAC Capital Advisors LP, plus a few prospects. The party played the Lakes Course — so named because 12 holes out of 18 have a water hazard — as 30-mile-per-hour gusts blew off the Atlantic Ocean, says Jeffrey Vale, director of research at Infinity Capital Partners LLC, who was one of Cohen’s guests.
