Bwaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaaha . . . . . . . . breathe....... . . . . . . hahahahahahahahahah Ok buddy.

Maybe I am not making sense to you. Do you even know what $100k turns into with 40% returns per month after 3 years? Take a guess... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $18.2 BILLION Sorry, but I am not impressed with the $100m deal given this fact.

I have been trading for 5 years now and have a startup business around it. Forex.

We won't hold that against you :p j/k Good to see more traders around!

You have successfully avoided my question. I rest my case. You do realize that there are some equity money managers that made much more than 170% shorting the daylights out of homebuilders, REITS, and financials, right? I worked with a Fund of Funds doing money manager research and have...

That last sentence is by far the most telling in terms of gauging your knowledge of investing. You don't have to tell me about solid gains. I am up an almost triple digit percentage since July with very controlled risk from my own personal trading in currencies. But guess what? It doesn't...

Look, I am in no way defending losing money, but have you seen the returns of almost EVERY fund over the past 6 months?

Possibly, however a timeframe is required to make a more informed judgement. 4% over a year is hardly a blowup. Yet 4% in 2-4 weeks is a clear red flag. Parameters are lacking in this thread...

Apologies for being an option neophyte. Any direction toward an answer is greatly appreciated!

Laughable! You can't compare ANYTHING to those standards.

This thread is fairly pointless. I would put my money on the contention that they just can't trade. A poll won't prove the cause of the losses one way or another.

For all we know maybe they capped the fund because the strategies may not be viable once a certain level of capital is reached. Just a thought...

Since the 2nd of December the EUR/USD is up 14%. Since the 2nd of December the USD/CAD is down 8%. So while USD hasn't lost as much percentage wise to the Canadian Dollar, it isn't entirely accurate to say that the prices have not moved. Oil is virtually unchanged for the period despite...

What? You must mean retail spot and not interbank spot...

I was about to actually muster a long response until I realized I was wasting my time... One quick piece of advice. If you are actually looking for sources of funding you better get your grammar and capitalization in line. Stop using the wrong form of "your" when you really mean to use...

In that case maybe you should petition a moderator to change the title of this thread. LOL:)

***crickets***

I understand that and agree 100%. But this wasn't on Sunday (apparently) which begs the question why someone who cared so much about their positions thought it best to spend those moments posting on 2 online forums as opposed to calling the broker. Weird.
