I am sure there are funds there. I think seabreeze which is doug kass from TSCM is from around there.

Has anyone used knowx.com My accountant just recommended it. seems cheap for just such a purpose.

Aaron, Thanx for the ideas on the sites. I have gotten a number of very promising leads since I posted on one as a trial. I have one question. Since you did not know these people, how did you know they were honest and wouldn't get you in trouble. Basically, how did you know they were...

I traded all of last summer at my parents house on a 56k. I had no problems.

There are also many conservative funds out there who eek out 20-30% a year every year with minimal drawdowns. THey just don't make the headlines.

GNP!! Baby!!! I said this a week ago. After 6 months of not working well, GNP is on fire lately. I took 1.25 pts off of ndb today on 3500 shares. Flipped out the last of my 5k of cbm for 70c. Gotta be honest, EME blew me I sold the low print and lost 200 bux on it. Win some loose some, but it...

Yeah Took me like 6 months to get in. My pick (DDN) got turned down when it was first submitted at about 2.6. Took the stock doubling before they'd let me redo it and admit me. I am very greatful that they let me in however. It is an amazing site. I know that there are not many slots...

http://www.valueinvestorsclub.com Number one value site that I've found.

I am a member too. (what's your nick). I saw those posts before. I think VIC pulled them b/c they were embarassed to have aided thow who were trying to pump stocks. You may be right, but I remember Doug Kass saying something to the effect that people were knocking on VIC when they shouldn't have...

You got it wrong. There are 2 gothams. Gotham investments and gotham capital I think. The bad one is not associated with VIC. The VIC one has not done anything wrong as far as I know.

Good trade silverbullet. I would take some off the table here. I think you're playing with fire, but it may just keep going for a while. The company has problems though, and that is not reflected in the chart.

LOL... I know a lot of people in SCH. They tell me that things are falling apart. High volume traders are going to IB/prop firms. Low volume traders are trading less and with smaller accounts. Customer churn is way up and AMTD is killing them. Insiders are purging their own shares and...

We'll see... I'm only short the banco de harley now (HDI). Am looking to really push the short bet in the next few weeks though.

I guess that the question is at what point you define a drawdown as being impossible to come back from. 30% is surmountable, 50% is probably not. It also depends on the manager's willpower to overcome, and the faith of his investors. I am sure that you have had some drawdowns. What was your...

I am curious about Aaron's response as well. Are investors getting upset? If you look back at year end in 2001 and going into early 2002, his fund had a much worse drawdown period. I would assume that investors would realize that that is part of the price that you have to pay for outsized...

Aaron- I submitted my data to cogenthedge. I may also submit information to another one or 2. I wish I did not have to pay to see the info on other funds at these sites. I was curious, how much interest has the posting generated for your fund? Which site gave you the most leads? It is pretty...

Hey fellow traders, I just wanted to pass along a site that I recently found. I spent at least 20 hours there in the past week and am absolutely blown away. Best new site that I have found since I stumbled upon valueinvestorsclub.com. I highly recommend that any investors out there check...

Tough week. 1 day up next day down it seems. Made about 1% on the week and was happy with that. OTOH, DDN and ACAP keep trucking which helps a lot.

From a fundamental standpoint, it is highly overvalued and in an industry that is going to be in a decade long decline. Trading volumes are down and customer churn is up. I personally know of a lot of very smart people who are very short.

Aaron- Thankyou again for doing the chat and answering all my questions about hedge fund setup and trading. Is there any reason why you chose the 4.6% standard deviation as opposed to some other number? Have you ever thought about adding equities to your program? I bet that if you did...
