Quadriga's Baha on bloomberg tv at 11:39

Quote from Ikspec:

The most disturbing thing to me is that he did the interview from Monaco. I thought they were based in Vienna? I don't know about you but I don't want my money with a manager who spends his time tanning in Monaco while his fund is blowing up.

The only thing I can think of is that he has offices in Monaco, but even so, I'd still rather have them in Vienna. I have been to Monaco and let me tell you trading is not one of the easiest things to concentrate on while in Monaco.

what is wrong with spending $50,000 a night on some whore from the management fees generated by your idiot newbie customers?:D

($50,00 fee paid by some arab sheiks came from a short documentary. I am sure tha itt can be done for $5,000)
 
Quote from spike500:

I read that Christian was asked by a bank to write a program that could automate trading. He wrote it and kept it for himself.
The program does the trading, so he can sun on the beach.

sorry. that is nonsense. he is the sales. he has nothing to do with system, system writing or coding. nothing.
 
Quote from spike500:

The Superfund Group was founded in 1995 by Christian J. Baha and Christian Halper. They started by developing an innovative program to provide technical analysis of the financial market for Austrian clients. Within two years, the software program was the leading provider of market information in Austria. This success led to the development of the Superfund Group.

PS the beach at Monaco is fairly flat.

sorry. i know the story before it started. and what you are telling is awfully wrong. baha started several business, none of them took off. this includes brokerage, software and publishing. he met halper, they started another new project, quadriga. they traded pretty discretionary in the first year, lost 10%, then halper developed a (IMHO opinion pretty much straight forward) trend following strategy. after year two they had USDm 15 under management. whatever you are telling seems to source in very vague material.

My information comes from the two "Christians", if they lie, i lie too that's obvious.
This information is published on the website from Quadriga also.

i do not think that you lie. it is just very vague. quadriga did never manage to get their foot set at any institutional investor. they say it is because all institutions are duckheads and were unable to detect their superiority. my thinking is that they were unable to make their edge clear compared to their competitors. and calling yourself "hedge fund" doesn't make you one. at least not if you talk to pros.

sorry. i am sometimes defending them when critics are stupid, but at times i get upset by this "robin hood of the investment markets" -show.
