Are you short again?

2007 highs are beckoning.

But nobody is going to pay them to "buy and hold", I'd rather just buy the SPY if I wanted to buy and hold. Fact of the matter is the hedge fund industry is pretty much doomed, they cannot beat the market when central banks and govts dictate the rules of the game, they are at the mercy of...
