Do these traders have edges that can last?

1) (March-2010 "winner")?.....from being up 50% to down 50% to up 150% in the span of several days?......DOUCHE!

2) Some of those euro-poon chicks in the photos are "hot".

The June-2010 "winner".......up 600%, down to up 400%, to up 1200%, down to up 400%?.....that's wreckless gambling.

The June winner was up 1200% at one-point!? But then lost 75% over the last 2 days of the month?

A lot of reasons why hedge funds don't *want* to do this.

Most large hedge funds manage the accounts of endowments and pension plans and only need to make consistent returns.

"Only make consistent returns"....

I think that is by far the hardest thing to do as a trader.

....consistently below that of the S&P-500? They're "good" at doing that.
