    Janus Overseas Fund manager has screwed big time in 2011

    True. Also, the clients do not demand better performance. they are happy when dighton, madoff, niederhoffer, etc. lose everything. if clients would want positive performance, they'll be putting money only in fully automated, diversified, risk-averse programs which do not charge markups or...

    Dighton ASP Fund Down 40,8% in July

    fifty silly moving average systems applied to 5-10 most liquid markets would never produce such horrible results. such portfolio can easily make 20% returns with max 20% drawdown. but of course, investors don't know that. they think licenced managers are employing all the best research to...

    Greece to slash 20% of public workforce "right now"

    no nation can compete with india and china when it comes to labour cost. the West should be prepared to do more enternainment (like california does during the last 4 decades) and to attract more rich tourists from Asia. The Italians are doing this perfectly, but most of the cash income...

    Dighton ASP Fund Down 40,8% in July

    free hint to shitvestors: is the root cause of the losses in the negative difference between entry and exit prices (sort of 800 stoplosses in a row) or is the root cause in markups generated on a massive amount of trades? there can be other reasons like entering a Gold short trade at...

    Dighton ASP Fund Down 40,8% in July

    interesting to see $AUM always explode just before huge DD :D to lose 50% trading probably over 10 or perhaps 30 markets? you have to suffer losses of 80% on some markets and 20% on some better ones AND lose on each and every of these markets. Judging from AUM and trading leverage, the...

    Dighton ASP Fund Down 40,8% in July

    investors would be very surprised knowing how many managers (almost all of them): - trade without a stoploss - don't employ any diversification (over 50% of assets is allocated in single strategy/market/direction) - trade just for rebates and markups - use disaster-attracting superhigh...

    Long track record is not correlated with future results

    Every investor and fund-of-funds seeks managers with long track records. My prediction: majority of such investments will be poor. Reason: no matter how long someone trades, if the underlying strategy is bad / full of various types of weak sides - it will fail. Proof...

    SNB sets franc floor at CHF1.20 versus euro.

    if you're an private individual, yes. if you're a big bank, you don't care. lose money on greek bonds? the central bank will bail you out. make money on greek bonds/chf arb? you're talented speculator, the bonus is yours.

    SNB sets franc floor at CHF1.20 versus euro.

    The Swiss government has basically told the world that they will print as much money as it takes, and buy up as much crap sovereign debt as they can, to competitively devalue the currency. This essentially puts Switzerland in the same sinking boat as Italy, Greece, and Portugal… with...

    33 biggest european banks lost 80% of their value in the last 5 years. now worth $330 bn. Justin made over $50 million last 12 months. if the pace of these trends will continue, during the next 20 years, banks could lose another 0.2 x 0.2 x 0.2 x 0.2 = 99.8% of their value, bringing the...
