    Jason Karp’s Tourbillon Capital hedge fund had a tough month

    Jason Karp’s Tourbillon Capital hedge fund had a tough month

    It’s pretty douchey to name your fund after a pointless luxury product. I guess he wants to remind people that he’s overpaid.

    BW drops 16% around 16:10, but earnings are not released until 16:40

    I would look into it more. It looks like they issued an 8k at 16:04. in that 8k they might have issued earnings highlights. It looks like the machine reading algos got a jump on that filing.

    WOW, Proshares reducing leverage on two volatility funds

    It's equivalent to a business changing its operations. A corporate action from the OCC perspective is designed to ensure a holder of a synthetic has got the similar economics as a shareholder of the cash. This is so that hedging can stay consistent for the most part.

    Ackman finally exits HLF!!

    The company is morally bankrupt and should be shut down. However, he wasn't fighting some scumbag CEO - he was fighting an FTC that has allowed this company to exist for 30 years (not to mention Amway - the politically connected equivalent).

    A Top Investment Bank Just Made a Move to Protect Against Another S&P 500 Crash

    I wouldn't be selling them. Especially when you consider how much short vol (real and synthetic) is in the market that a 5percent selloff created a 100percent rally in the vix futures.
