    Job report, unmployment falls to 9.5%!

    Good old Germany used to have a base unemployment figure of at least 8 %. A couple of years it was above 10 %. As long as the US is not approaching 11-12 %, I am not concerned. Apple will sell its IPhones also in China and elsewhere. Let´s not be US centric. :) By the way EUR / JPY...

    AQR Hedge Fund moving into Trend Following

    From 1997-2004 not one losing year and double diggit % performance. I call this an edge. Since 2005 they "lost it". You are right about marketing, small investors and huge fees, though. Christian himself has a "little" company on Grenada acting as introducing broker for the programs - as...

    If you speak to a typical German mutual fund manager you would be horrified as to the degree of pathetic addiction to US economic figures. Unbelievable. 15 years ago, I would understand, but today we have a massively changed situation. GDP is rising in so called "emerging markets" in double...

    AQR Hedge Fund moving into Trend Following

    There is TF, there is mean reversion, there is "statistical arbitrage" and scalping. Did you ever develop a scalping method in a trend market ? Makes you not only " a bit" of money.

    04-21-10 06:30 PM Quote from Martinghoul: I don't know about "we". I ain't exactly missing them... It's just because the Fed owns all the mtges and doesn't give a rat's ass about hedging convexity. Hum, just thinking about taking some profits on this "risk free" trade. :)
