The Trustafarians
April 3, 2009 Spring-time in Aspen attracts affluent visitors from all over the world. Many of them actually ski and ride in our Rocky Mountain retreat.
Maybe you've read about Wall St. prodigy Cooper Sosberg, the youngest "hedgie" in the world. In 2008, his long/short fund, the Pre-School Strategy Fund returned 48%. Sosberg is known, as the "anti-Madoff" for his extreme transparency. He's up 28% YTD in 2009. The pint-sized Sos was discovered drawing investment algorithms in the sand box at school & now he has the keys to the kingdom. We ran into Sosberg and his grandfather, Jeffrey during their recent house-hunting trip to Aspen. "No fractionals for me" declared Sosberg---"I'm going BIG."
There are plenty of other TRUSTAFARIANS in town, but Sossie is our favorite. Click the pix--see who else is still solvent. Click THE TRUSTAFARIANS

i think you've skewed the definition of a "trustafarian"
he's a hedge fund manager, not a stoner living in his mom and dad's red mountain estate, smoking kind bud and skiing all day... i'd recommend you consulting urban dictionary before trying to dabble in "hip" slang.
thanks duh, but i think i know a little about trustafarians
