Paul Tudor Jones

Quote from Daal:

How do you know rogers trade successfuly?Ever since he left quantum there is simply NO record of his performance. He is the biggest commodity bull around and claimed to have made money in 2008, one of the the worst collapse in commodity prices in history

He already have been caught on tape trying to hide his losing trades. To a naive observer you would think the last time rogers lost money nixon was still in the white house


your right. I don't know. the guy made me interview him as he was running on his treadmill in his home. it wasn't an easy interview to say the least. however, he was super nice prior and after-- i consider him a friend of the surf report. surf

I am not surprised. I guess this confirms Prechter's accuracy just like Tudor's TA claims confirms "trading from charts" as a method with positive expectancy.

good catch.

His skills are qualitative. He could take a negative backtest and make it profitable in the market. At this point TIC is essentially a giant internal FoF operation.

Most big HFs ..especially the so-called Global Macro players & Multi-Strategy houses are just internal FoFs; Moore, Millennium, Soros, Caxton, etc.

Yes, PTJ is a special breed and a great guy.

What exactly is meant by an internal FOF? Each strategy is run as a seperate entity?? They have different fee structures? I think this term is slightly a misnomer, but I am not sure... thanks

Agreed.
But I believe that Druckenmiller's Duquesne Capital is not, which is most interesting in and of itself given the current FoF environment.
 
Quote from marketsurfer:

here is an example in case you still don't get it, Mr. landis

Donald was Vice Chairman of Barclay’s Global Investors (formerly Wells Fargo Investment Advisors) one of the largest investment management firms in the world with over $500 billion under management.

You do realize that Barclay's Global Investors under Don Luskin as Wells Fargo Nikko Investment Advisors was ( and still is ) nothing more than an index fund where 83% or more of the "transactions" were done as journal entries and had nothing to do with an exchange, don't you?

They felt that they got "raped" during the Crash of 1987, and chose to avoid exchange "transactions" at all costs. At the end of the day, an index fund like BGI is concerned about tracking error, and minimizing transaction costs.

I'm sorry, but I really don't call what BGI does as . . . . TRADING.
