I'm guessing that you overestimated that number. If not, then it is certainly out of my price range for a "fun read."
Anyone willing to pay $40 dollars for that book should also get 3 free throws at Timmy in a dunk tank.
Well, they are bolder than I am because they are blatantly breaking SEC regulations. Here, learn: http://www.greencompany.com/HedgeFunds/Marketing.shtml I'll make a friendly bet with you that by 2010, I'll have made $1 million in the book business. I'm telling you I am going to exploit this industry's market inefficiencies-- trading taught me, now I'm applying those lessons elsewhere. Seriously--its a friendly bet. PS Just so you know what you're up against, this book will retail for $19.95...
Not if it is hardcover. Hardcover books from Wiley cost a pretty penny full retail at $80 or so, but of course on Amazon you can get it for $45 - $50 minimum. Especially if it tops 300 pages. Paperbacks obviously come in way less...
You can make $1,000,000 if you sell 250,000 copies. All you got to do is market the shit out of it cause Wiley does nothing. Not sure what inefficiencies you are referring to. Wiley makes a book and publishes it and we buy it. Only exploitation that exists is getting the book published at 1/3 the costs in an overseas market and selling it here at a normal price. Then you make a larger profit margin and keep all profits as long as you take the risks of publication. $19.95...? If you are with Wiley and it is a hardcover, you dont set the price, they do. If it is a soft cover book and it is over 300 pages, I doubt 19.95 will be ful retail. Again if I am mistaken my apologies.
Ahhhh, but you forget the most important piece to the puzzle--I rejected Wiley and am going with another publisher. It will not take me 250,000 copies sold to make $1 million, its far less--- god bless market inefficiencies, we'll just have to wait a few months to see if I'm right.
market inefficiencies or just good ol competition . Also explains why the lower retail price since Wiley is EXPENSIVE. Go with whomever offers you the biggest advance or royalty cut. Not sure that would be an inefficiency but rather beautiful competition. But again.... do not overestimate the buying market.
Why don't you post a link to your hedge fund so we can look at your performance? Surely your hedge fund has a website for potential investors to browse and inquire about fund information??
Reporting monthly returns is not in violation of any SEC regs for reg/unreg funds. Thousands of funds report to MAR, Barclay, etc., every month. How is one to get performance vetted? Clairvoyance?
http://www.cilantrofund.com Or if you're an accredited investor, you can find us on all the major databases. Performance may be posted on sites restricted to accredited investors. ET is not a restricted site and thus I can't discuss performance. Def. not my idea, but they are the rules...
