Edward Lampert is the founder, chairman, and CEO of ESL Investments, a $10 billion dollar investment fund which has reportedly returned close to 30% annually since inception. Many consider “Eddie” to be the next Warren Buffett. He is well known recently for taking over Sears Holdings Corporation of which he is now Chairman. After leaving Yale University, he worked at Goldman Sachs in the firm's risk arbitrage department from March 1985 to February 1988.

He left the bank to form ESL Investments, based in Greenwich, Connecticut, in April 1988. Mr. Lampert's investment style can best be described as "concentrated value", often focusing on the retail sector. He has, in large part, been credited for forming and merging Kmart and Sears into Sears Holdings.
The highly secretive and brilliant, detail-oriented investor is worth billions, making him one of the wealthiest and most successful hedge fund investors.

This is one of the most poorly managed web sites on stocks. Inaccuracies are every where. You can't even get the "Most Viewed" portfolios correct. Good work idiots.
