Risks and Strains

Think mutual fund managers are always stinking rich and "enjoy" life to the fullest? Maybe it takes a closer look. It does appear a very glamorous job with a lot of perks, contacts and moolah, but it might not be a very enjoyable position if you are managing millions and markets are at their deceptive best.

Check out this article from WSJ comparing two mutual fund managers, one of them being under "strain" and adding running, basketball and swimming to his routine partly to relieve stress, on top of the fishing and golf he long has favored.

Seems like a tough way to make a living.
