How to Become Stevie Cohen When I was 23, fresh out of a top university in New York, I interviewed at SAC Capital (later Point72). I remember walking onto the trading floor and seeing Stevie Cohen sitting in the middle-no office, no separation, while traders around him pitched ideas all day. That’s how trading works. And that’s how you should use X. You don’t need to be an expert in every field-Stevie Cohen isn’t. His edge is wisdom and logic: knowing which ideas make sense. The key is to surround yourself with people who’ve proven excellence in their fields. Ignore generalists talking biotech or tech. Find true experts, listen carefully, do your own work, and decide. That’s how you become your own Stevie Cohen-at home, with very little capital. Key Points •Follow experts, not generalists, people with long, proven track records in their field. •Treat X like a trading desk: ideas flow in, you don’t accept them blindly. •Your edge is logic and judgment, not expertise in every domain. •When an idea appears, slow down: research it, stress-test it, see if it makes sense. •Ignore noise, hype, and hot takes. Signal comes from excellence over time.
