Buffett: His strategy was to buy companies that he knew would be popular forever and would not have competitors steal their business. For example Coca Cola. People will never stop drinking coke. And think about how hard it would be to start a soda company that overtakes coca cola. Impossible.
Simons: He was a physicist/mathematician, and a pretty damn good one. His strategy was to eliminate human input. Petabytes of financial data are fed into computers, and if the computers find a trend that theyre sure will continue, they make a trade that follows it.
Soros: Nobody understands Soros's strategy as well as Buffett's or Simons's. I think he just studies the world, and finds where people are wrong about something, and bets against them. And his fund was MORE successful than buffetts or even simons's, depending on how you measure that success.
Ackman: this guy hasnt been even close to as successful as the other three, mainly because he gets too emotional, but he did one thing: he foresaw in winter 2019, when covid was just starting in china, that it would tank the economy. And he bet on it, and made 2.9 billion in one trade. Better than any single trade ever in history.
