Assets frozen at Lake Shore Asset Management by federal court

Lake Shore Asset Management Ltd., a hedge fund firm run by a former chairman of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, had its assets frozen by a federal court after regulators said it overstated its holdings.

Chicago-based Lake Shore purported to manage $1 billion for investors and traded in U.S. commodities futures contracts, according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. A review later showed the fund had about $466 million. Lake Shore barred regulators from inspecting its accounts on June 14, a violation of the Commodity Exchange Act, according to the CFTC's complaint.

Why anyone would turn over their funds to be managed by others is beyond understanding.

You either learn how to trade, or stick it in a mutual fund. How many times does a story need to appear about misappropriations or other fiascos of managed money (not even mentioning, the poor record of most)????

Thank you!

This KL, you know, the Koreans, went out in WPB, and there were people like Doctors who put some 20mm in that scam. The guy that scooted to Korea let people watch him trade. Right. One guy says, "I saw him make hundreds of thousands right in front of me."

Anyone remember "The Grifters"????

Blowup is here. the unwinding will be like the boss showing you survellience video of you screwing the cleaning woman on the copier, just before he fires you, and sends the tape to your wife.

Yale University has had spectacular success growing its endowment, by carefully selecting external managers to invest their funds. The head allocator at Yale wrote a (book) about the reasons and the Yale methods. If you are truly interested in learning why (and how) anyone would turn over their funds to be managed by others, this is an excellent place to start.
