chapman capital is launching new fund, i dont know if thats orange county though. 14,000 resumes for 10 positions though, it might be tough getting in... http://www.hedgefunds.com/articles/Leaner Year for Employees in AR 12-2005.pdf
These guys were features in Trader Monthly. But the guy featured in the article, to my knoweldge wasn't ever a trader himself. The firm is made up of retail brokers who really aren't traders. I am speaking of the summit group, and their commodities brokerage Opportunities in Options. Look and ask for the hard numbers on this "fund" and their return. I would ask for audited financials on their return, not their commissions generated.
