    Hedge Fund TV Show

    Actually he did not come from wealth. What he has earned and lost has all been his own. Actually he did not, but nice guess. Ah yes, wrong again. He is very dedicated to this business. He may be able to live easy but he works very hard at this. Now to my main point. None of you guys...

    Structure of HF Performance fees and Management fees

    It really depends on the particular investor. I think 0/30 is going to be high for any investor. If I was going to do 0 management fee I would not go above 25 on performance fee. Unless your record is such that you can warrant that kind of payment.

    Structure of HF Performance fees and Management fees

    No, from what I can tell everybody is happy with their fee structure. Nobody has tried to renegotiate anything yet. I think most people would prefer a 0/25 or 0/20 to a 2/20 because if the manager doesn't make money the investor doesn't have to pay him anything.

    Structure of HF Performance fees and Management fees

    Hope I can add to this discussion a bit. I considered doing this, moving from a 2-20 to a 0-25, but ultimately decided against it. I do have some accounts that are billed only on performance fee but they are few and far between. Anyhow, I think a 2-20% is the best way to go for the manager...

    Would you buy a house, anywhere in the US, right now?

    That's not bad. Down in Central FL you pay $5K on a 300K house. No income tax though, similar to your state.

    Office space in Chicago-- Anyone rent?

    It is possible to get it free. I had three different places tell me they would give it to me as long as I cleared through them.

    ICE had some options for the WTI contract a while back. I looked at it maybe 6 or 7 months ago and there was 0 volume. Not sure what they have now. Contact them they will give you a demo platform with real time data.

    Wunder J $1,000,000.00 in 30 days

    Yes I like the fonts as well. Funny how the fonts that show his "$1,005,213.00" are different then all the other fonts. I get some GHCO statements myself and my fonts don't look like that. May be if I wrote the number in myself I could get fonts like that. I think I will try that...

    I must be out of my mind!

    Original Quote From cashmoney69 This guy is running one of the riskiest strategies I've ever seen. I would not trade the way he does. He's one limit from being wiped out or real close to it. Trust me! Another thought, I would not give my money to a manager that is done working by 9:30...

    Best Car for Newly Hired Trader

    I didn't read through this thread because the original post is ridiculous. I'm sure someone else has already given you this opinion, but since you asked for opinions here's mine. WHO CARES! Why are you so concerned with what car to drive? Why don't you spend your time worrying about...

    Money Mangers Marketing

    Thought I would give an update for those who care as far as my marketing search goes. I found a firm that has a database of over 10,000 resumes for sales people in the financial industry. The guy I spoke with gave me a proposal that is pretty good. Basically they find a candidate with an...

    Money Mangers Marketing

    I belive this is correct. When I first started I had a CPO and a CTA. A CPO is in the same class as a hedge fund. When I was building my web site I put in information about both the CTA and CPO. The NFA told me that I had to take down anything that mentioned the CPO because you cannot...

    Money Mangers Marketing

    original quote from SnoopDogg: I think the comparison is fine. essentially most hedge funds and CTAs are doing the same thing. Trying to raise capital from outside investors so that they can place trades in financial markets. Regardless of whether they trade commodities, equities, bonds...

    Money Mangers Marketing

    HNW or Institutional money is something that I was unsure about for a while. I have decided I would rather manage for HNW than institutions. This is because after speak with a few of them I really get the impression that they will be your friend as long as you give them alpha. I spent...
