Well, hedge funds work with other people's money, and they can suddenly go into a panic and take their money out. That kind of thing can really wreck your strategy. In a bank I can take more risk because I don't measure risk in terms of cash but in profit volatility. A hedge fund investor would get very alarmed by a negative performance spanning over a few weeks and even months. Not a bank. But the bank would be alarmed if you have large gains one day and large losses the next one. The bank can afford to back you for some time when you're down. Provided what you do doesn't look like gambling. Indeed, when my profit for the day is extremely large, I need to justify it. It does not matter that it makes a nice profit.<br/> <a href="/r.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theguardian.com%2Fcommentisfree%2Fjoris-luyendijk-banking-blog%2F2012%2Fapr%2F02%2Fquantatitive-prop-trader-voices-of-finance%3Fnewsfeed%3Dtrue&s=2627066218" target="_blank">www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/joris-luyendijk-banking-blog/2012/apr/02/quantatitive-prop-trader-voices-of-finance?newsfeed=true</a>"
