Quadriga Superfund - Managed Futures

Quote from Ebo:

How did Christian wind up for the Year, only down a mere 10%.
So that's a break even after he got paid!

Maverick:
I don't hate the player btw, I was very happy with the 38% I milked out of that investment. I am just happy to have liquidated before it really shit the bed.

Happy New Year!

PS: I am open to any of your other CTA ideas.

Ebo, he actually went positive sometime in Dec. Quite an amazing comeback especially after others on this board said the fund was going to implode when it was down 25%. I should have known to fade ET. :D

Take a look at Schindler Trading. I am eagerly awaiting to see how he finished in Dec. He was up 16% for the year going into Dec.
 
He was down 10% as of Tuesday last week according to his website. You are right though abought fading these folks.

I wish it priced weekly, I would trade it like RYDEX!
Monthly is a bit of a gamble unless you average in/out.

Cheers!

Their website is never right for some reason. As of dec 21 or so they were up 1%. I know, my mother still gets the realtime performance numbers. She did well. She made 60% when she got out last December last year. Not bad.

If Gold takes off again, the fund will fly. They are very over weight in Gold. Since I think Gold is probably going to 700 or 800 at some pt, I'm sure they will clean up.

You are right though, if you avg down into their drawdowns, you can make a mint.
 
Quote from Maverick74:

Jesus man, 100 pages of this thread and the same shit. Dumb investors? Do you want to explain that. They have made more money then you in your 3k E-Trade account. I just don't understand how you are now turning your hate from Quadriga to the people who invest in them. Get a grip man. If you hate your life so much, stick a pistol in your mouth. Maybe their returns will suck going forward. Maybe John Henry's returns will suck too. Who cares? Do you? Ken Griffin at the Citadel is having his worst year ever too. Does he suck too? Where do you draw the line? Does every fund suck? Everyone except you right? Just another ET poser. Get a life. Or better yet, focus on your own trading and not on others.

Somebody lost a lot of money that day and took it out on ET.

lol
 
It always amazes me when people post editorial comments on a thread resurrected from 3 months ago that has absolutely nothing remotely related to the original topic!

Sorry Deringer, I've never had a dollar in the fund. My mother had quite a bit in there and she did very well. I believe that post was in response to all the little annoying posters on ET that start threads attacking Cramer, Quadriga, John Henry, Ed Seykota, et al. There seems to be some pattern here where little guys with 5k at IB love to attack billionaires and say their funds suck. I have to admit, it's funny at first, but after awhile it just becomes pathetic. I thought that post gave some very clear advice for those posters. :D
 
Quote from risktaker:

I guess you must be their US rep? If I were 1 of their 55000 dumb and clueless investors, after seeing this video, I sure as hell would rethink the stupidity of paying them huge fees for decorating their offices just to sucker in more dumb money. Maybe another year or 2 of crappy returns will do just that.

stop raining on their parade. if you continue you may get wet. just remember, i am told, they give out free umbrellas to people who visit their office.
 
Quote from rufus_4000:

fund" would constitute "illegal" marketing. Since as I understand their prospectus, they are not a hedge fund (in SEC definition), rather a managed futures fund (that charges rather obscene fees, even for a hedge fund, but that's besides the point). And any hedge funds (as private investment vehicles) can not advertise by definition.
More...

Absolutely right. I think they have already been slapped with fines (about two years ago) for illegal marketing of themselves as a so-called hedge fund.

What is more questionable in the minds of many is marketing themselves with the past performance "index" of their many funds where no one can really invest in thsisindex of the past as the products offered (a different one in each jurisdiction) is not the index, but a different product in itself.

The life cycle of each product offered in only a few years, so it is impossible to judge the past returns of anything one might invest in.

Nothing offered by the Supefund adheres to an standards anywhere and that is why their products are sold to the ill-informed retail market.

Who cares?
 
I guess the "rock creatures" woke up reading the BW article last week.
