I bet Aaron is too humble to post this himself, but his fund posted a 26% return for the month of May. (Sure better than my fund did). That's quite a comeback, a good step towards digging himself out of the hole.

I still believe that he will be able to show a nice gain by year end, and those who bought weakness will be rewarded.

Back to the theme of this thread, for those who are interested, I noticed that Green Trader has a pretty extensive list of other sites to post your returns on.

http://www.greencompany.com/EducationCenter/TraderLinksHedgeFunds.shtml

Some of those sites are old, and some require fees, but there are also some interesting interviews and other goodies in there.

BTW: For those of you who post on the MSCI. All I can say is wow. I got my packet in the mail yesterday. I have a pin that resets every 60 seconds, and other interesting goodies. Very professional.

***********************

Those who bought weakness were rewarded.
Those who bought strenght were rewarded also in this market.
Both are humbling thoughts and work.

That is great Harris, you are a celebrity! I probably missed it in the article, did you just short those stocks or buy puts or what not?

There is a bigger funnier article somewhere in TSCM. I both longed and shorted in that contest. It is amazing what you can do with no slippage and internet stocks that go 30 pts a day.

He did beat his benchmark / class.

NEW YORK (HedgeWorld.com)—Hedge funds turned in good performance in May with a return of 1.84%, bringing year-to-date returns to 5.47%, according to the S&P Hedge Fund Index.

Strong performance in the month came from S&P’s Directional/Tactical Index, which returned 3.41% in May and 7.17% in the first five months of the year, S&P says. The Directional/Tactical index is composed of long/short equity, managed futures and global macro funds. The S&P Managed Futures Index returned an eye-catching 6.4% in May and is up 13.35% year-to-date.

The S&P Event-Driven Index, made up of merger arbitrage, distressed securities and special situation funds, returned 2.46% in May and was up 7.96% year-to-date through May.

But the S&P Arbitrage Index had another month of losing returns, with performance of negative 0.41% in May after returning negative 0.65% in April. Year-to-date through May, the arbitrage index returned a meager 1.26%. The arbitrage index includes equity market neutral, fixed-income arb and convertible arb funds.

The strong hedge fund performance coincided with a reawakening of the U.S. stock market. The S&P 500 stock index returned 5.09% in May and is up 9.52% year-to-date through May.
