some large hedge funds were a bit too early on the tech bubble shorting them.. they came close to blowing out.. some closed. But the unwinding of those shorts some say led to the last stages of the runup.
Michael Steinhardt Says Bull Market Coming To End - Worried About Big Correction
- Thread starter ByLoSellHi
- Start date
Wisdom Tree WSDT and Michael Steinhardt's name keep popping-up all over the place.
I wonder if is one of those overlooked pos stocks that we'll look back on in a few years and and regret not buying a few shares for the future.
I got some for my kids.
Then again this dream team fund might just not work.
Who knows.

And how the heck did WisdomTree get Steinhardt and Siegel to sign on?
It's not like Steinhardt needs any more money. I guess maybe he could always use more for charity work?
Siegel has a good rep to uphold. If this fund tanks...

Good questions, I was wondering the same thing last month.
Evidentially they believe in the model and are willing to make a go of it.
And yes it's very possible this may go bust but I feel this chance is remote.
I believe this model will attract alot of cash that wants better performance but(seemingly)less risk.
Time will tell.
I've been eyeing some of those Wisdom ETFs latley. Worth taking a look at.
Finally caught the Bloomberg interview they've been playing all weekend. His comments on private equity were good.
