    Is it true that most hedge funds lose money?

    BJL, you're right. I underestimated the sheer number of smaller funds.

    Is it true that most hedge funds lose money?

    Hmmm average for a hedge fund would be like $500m-1.5bln, $10m is a very micro, brand new fund. Probably impossible to get any aggregate research/performance data on funds that small.

    Oil would be at $50.00 had the fed

    So true. It looks like some people think the average consumer will be better off with the Fed hiking into an environment of credit angst. I always hear "Inflation is bad for the average Joe, the Fed is crazy". So I wonder, how would the average Joe fare once we have a couple of big banks...

    The next rate cut will be the last one

    You have no idea what you're talking about. Read an economics 101 book to get you started. Are you even trading you fool? Let's compare positions, let's see who's underwater.

    The next rate cut will be the last one

    My God, you have to be one of the biggest idiots on the board. Topsurfi is 100% correct, just reading back the facts of the market to you and you label him a "desperate long". What a fool you are.

    The next rate cut will be the last one

    2y treasuries are yielding 1.4% - Naturally the Fed will follow and cut to a minimum of ~2% this year. I'd say 2.0% by mid 2008.

    One more fluff job

    Why not create your own journal in the journals section instead of cluttering the trading forum with these random threads every day?

    IB - No Data ?

    All in all I'm a happy camper at IB. Even if you found a broker with similar cost structure and market access, who says it's more reliable than IB? The grass is always greener on the other side until you walk it.

    feels like capitulation?

    The most heavily shorted sectors (financials, homebuilders, retail stocks) close either well off their lows or in the green on above average volume. What on earth does this have to do with Friday's NFP? The only point I tried to make is that if this "feels" like anything then this is a bit of...
