a layman's comment who don't know nothing about the hedge fund 'business' or industry. Your net liquid worth needs to be 2 million to invest in their funds excluding the value of your home. there is less than 500 hedge funds in the entire country of any significance

Why do they even call them hedge funds. basically she just went long with a huge position and hoped for the better. Bull market is making way too many geniuses.

The most amazing part of such stories is how do they get such huge allocations on such basic strategies.

Yep. My point exactly. I am going through funds raising myself, and it is such a difficult and up heal battle. The amount of scrutiny is insane.

It all began from association to Julian Robertson, but it is staggering that her wealthy investors can be so ignorant about how their $ are invested.

These folks are gamblers ( the investors) they are often invested across dozens of funds in the hopes that a few offer huge returns. The losses are just part of their strategy.

We had a guy invested with us who lost $5 million with Mado#f and really could care less. These are wealthiest folks on earth.

It's to differentiate between pension funds, mutual funds etc.

Hedge funds can short stocks, take positions in private equity, non-public listed companies,

Mutual funds can only buy publicly listed companies and can only go long and minimum positions or more strict criteria or investment risk in their portfolio. They cannot be on margin unlike hedge funds that can be 50% margin.

I knew that :) Was being sarcastic. Should have used smileys.

nobody cares,

there are 300 million Americans, and nobody bought your stock.
and only 50 guys in elite traders talking about the market.
known as illiquid open market.
More people talking about Kim Kardishian than the market.

Cry me a river -- she took the gamble, and loss -- she knew what she was getting into o_O
there is no crying on wall street.

I hate hearing about so-called Trader prodigies and geniuses. -- Trading is not a complex complicated world that requires a high IQ.
