You should visit one, the quality is terrible. particle wood exterior with stucco supported by the cheapest pine lumber (forget CBS). Inside romex,low cost pvc plumbing and the cheapest thinnest Gypsum wall and forget soundproofing materials, cheap builders grade HVAC.


When you walk inside these huge faux mansions with no yard you can hear every step, every creak,every voice in the entire home. KB Homes etc.. junk.

Without the HVAC running and maintenance those abandoned/foreclosed mcmansions will be real nasty, might as well as demolish them.

so 30% and 25% drawdown respectively.


yes thats a HUGE $ amount.

but not overly suprising as a D.D.%. the markets been tanking and agressive hedge funds are down 25-30%, who's to say they wont make that back when (or should i say if) the market rebounds.

its all relative

Mate having a 20-30% DD in a month is a big deal on so many levels and you simply dont have the ability to make that straight back (loss of leverage is just one reason) but cant be bothered explaining why.

in a day and age where in some cases you only have to put up 1-5% collateral?

im not going to make any assumptions as i dont know what strategies they use, but im going to guess they'll make a decent amount when the market finally moves favourably for them.

or who knows, maybe they will go arse up. they've probaly got bad risk managment.


but thats not my point. mine is that 20-30% D.D. for an agressive strategy isnt completely suprising.
