"[O]ur industry is in turmoil. It's very ironic because you've got Clinton and Sanders crapping all over us and they don't realize Wall Street is in the midst of a very serious downturn. . ."

He's right. Investors are bailing on hedge funds in record numbers because these hot shot investment managers aren't able to generate meaningful investment returns.

All the tricks that used to work for them in the past are now falling flat.

And as Cooperman explained, there's a giant consolidation right now where only two types of people will be able to make money in financial markets.

The first is traders… specifically high frequency traders (HFT).

These are the gigantic financial institutions and billionaire math geniuses who build sophisticated algorithms that buy and sell stocks at blinding speed, sometimes entering and exiting positions in just a fraction of a second.

High-frequency traders rarely (if ever) hold positions overnight, let alone for months and years.

They're not interested in the fundamentals of a business, merely the volume and momentum of the stock.

The second group is long-term value investors– people that are trying to buy a dollar for 50 cents.
