    Any work for a recent college grad?

    Huh? You imply something wrong or lesser about a State institution? Most state institutions have supreme resources, etc and if you know what you are doing can and will get a supreme education to match. Graduate from a U of Wisc, U. of Del, UVA, or even Oklahoma State with a demanding...

    Great scam.

    Homeland Security is BIG Business for those inside and around the beltway. That is about all it is. How how secure will it make you as more and more beltway bandits figure out how to spend more dough on more stuff. "The most notable of this year's crop of blank checks is Fortress...

    CTA Startup Costs

    A CTA or CPO are quite different from a hedge Fund or fund of funds Operator/Manager. Accounting and reporting issues are not the same by a long shot. A start up CTA with few accounts should be able to handle it on Excel. But you will soon grow out of it. As far as I know DMAXX is the...

    Quadriga Superfund - Managed Futures

    Because of the particular regulations on funds in Germany, Quadriga sells certificates, or profit sharing rights, on the funds. Also known as "Genusscheine." This model is not unique to Quadriga in Germany. (Quadriga also sold savings plans, which will also be discontinued.) The sale...

    hedge fund accounting

    I do not know if this meets hedge fund reporting needs and I have no personal experience with the product, but you might want to look at DMAXX. www.dmaxx.com Hope this helps.

    Quadriga Superfund - Managed Futures

    Max, with all due respect, Commodity Trading and futures Trading may be interchangeable, but CTA and Managed Futures are not. You must know that. A Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) is a regulatory term to define a person nor entity regulated and licensed to trade futures on behalf of the...

    Quadriga Superfund - Managed Futures

    I get the update through 30 June just fine. Quadriga has a great web site. I think what creates MUCH confusion is when the offered Quadriga Limited Partnership is referred to as a Hedge Fund, Managed Futures, or when Quadriga is referred to as a CTA. As I understand Quadriga is...

    Quadriga Superfund - Managed Futures

    Aaron, thanks for taking the time to post here. What I really like about your program offering (along with the overall performance) is that one can clearly understand exactly what Schindler Trading is offering. You have transparancy, length of an individual program; and a published track...

    Quadriga Superfund - Managed Futures

    Yes, different legal structures for different countries is easy enough to understand. What Nija and others in investing community question is why some funds are closed to new investment and new ones then launced using the same trading strategy. There is no sence in that. Managers close...

    Quadriga Superfund - Managed Futures

    I've got nothing against Quadrigia. How can I? I never said that they killed a fund, only some products. A managed futures product I had been folloiwng is gone. That may mean nothing, I do not know. Yes, they were called to the mat by the SEC for advertising their limited Partnerships...

    Quadriga Superfund - Managed Futures

    Quadrigia is not a hedge fund and even got a hard slap on the wrist for marketing themselves as such. It is a rather expensive managed futures fund with HUGE volatility as with most trend following systems. It is difficult to measure their performance for more than two years out on any...

    bye-bye Martha -- be sure to write

    Martha was an easy target. It fed into the mentality of her client base -- all those who buy her stuff at K-mart. She was a great merchadiser. How about Ken Lay. This guy may well be behind so much in many millions in losses and fraud, not to mention the loss of jobs. His crime is so much...

    Euro FX After G7

    I posted before and said the "month of Jan" but I meant the month of Feb. This could be "it." The really BIG level to test to the downside is 123.50 range. Lots and lots of sell stop orders resting there. The cash FX market knows this. We'll see.
