Not if you do enough due diligence :p

First of all, your figure of 11.362 hedge funds appears incorrect. From all of the recent research I have read, the approximation is closer to 8000. However, the $1.1 trillion in assets is the going consensus as far as HF AUM. I agree, mutual funds and the press love to view hedge funds in a...

it's sad to see Cramer reduced from running Cramer Berkowitz to screaming at the top of his lungs on TV and using sound effect buttons......:eek:

I'm taking Level 1 in February- how difficult was the exam? I don't think it will be that tough, seeing how I already know a lot about the industry.

I have an extensive list of seeders/incubators. One thing you should know about them though, is that most look for a part of the GP (i.e. they want to share in your fund's revenue) and will want to be involved in an advisory capacity.

Send me a PM with your full contact details and I can refer you to two excellent attorneys.

Curfew lifted, power back on, and most of the business are up and running again around here again. It's getting back to normal.

Power just came back on today at home, don't need one! Next time though, I'm catching a plane to NYC!

I live roughly an hour north of Miami. My office has power, my home does not (yet). Wilma came through on the 24th, FPL won't restore electricity until Nov 22 in our area!!

Speaking of CNBC, there is going to be a segment with a fund manager vs. financial adviser arguing about the risks (or lack of) in hedge fund investing. Tune in today around 3 pm. I will comment about the state of hedge funds on this thread when I have more time, but I do agree with Boss Hog...

The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an emergency action against a Palm Beach Florida based hedge fund manager. According to the SEC press release, the defendants conducted a fraudulent scheme that has resulted in the loss of most, if not all, of the $81 million raised from...

If anyone has ever read Cramer's book, you will learn how he used to make money in his trading. It had to do with the information that he was privy to. As for his on air calls, I would rather do my own trade analysis and not be one of his lemmings....it keeps more money in my account!!! In...

Nice monitors!! Are those 21"s ?? What's the model # and manufacturer?? Thanks!

Commissions are a HUGE factor in any short term system's profitablity. Yes, it is very important to know the RIGHT people who can get you a good rate. Of course, you must have a good relationship and track record before getting the best deals on the street....

The opening of the market, while riskier, provides the greatest opportunity for profit. Large MOO orders can skew openings away from fair value and it presents an opportunity to make money. Many traders look to establish positions on opening prints and if they get in trouble, to hedge these...
