While your at it Aaron, you might clarify that you are not a Hedge Fund but a CTA.(Could be mistaken.) It is a difference worth clarifying.
Actually, I believe Aaron is a CPO. There is no formal accepted and agreed upon definition for the term "hedge fund". The term is rather ubiquitously utilized to describe all organized (read, pooled and registered or claiming exempt status) funds aside from mutual funds. The difference between pure hedge funds and CPO/CTAs is primarily in the regulatory body and the instruments traded. As most people understand the term, Schindler Trading is a hedge fund.
Harris is doing just fine. I'd be surprised if his performance was not in the top 1% of all funds. Yes, THV is at 48 cents, but surprisingly enough, he doesn't have all his money, of his fund's money, in that one stock. I'm sure his many winners more than make up for any large losers, some of which is is still riding up. Gold stocks are a perfect example.
well, does any1 know how he's really doing? I think around mid-year harris was break even or maybe down a couple % pts, and he was looking for a top at that time. Can someone give a number as to how his performance has been this year? Please?
Hi - There is an old saying: "sometimes you have to put your dick on on the chopping block". As far as I can tell, few of these forum members have actually done this on a meaningful scale. Consider this before you comment an Aaron's results or anyone else's for that matter.
Blackguard, Exempt funds are VERY RESTRICTED in terms of what they can say or comment on without risking violation of their advertisement prohibition. Even what is said is supposed to be restricted to accredited investors. It is certainly not worth risking his livelihood (or anyone elses in the same position) simply to appease your curiosity. I would agree with the other statements about him easily being in the top 1% in terms of percentage returns. It was suggested to you that you PM him and ask him yourself. Do you have a problem with that? If so, you may have to accept what the 3 of us are telling you.
i work with micro funds so please understand, i am not knocking anyone, and have respect for anyone with the desire to start and manage a fund---HOWEVER, the micro funds discussed herein are extremely small--therefore stellar results are not indicative and can not be compared with typical sized hedge funds. there is a WORLD of difference. my experience indicates that the REAL hedge fund world dismisses micro funds as play toys... best, surfer
Marketsurfer, AT around what $$ value is a Hedge Fund still considered a micro fund? I nave no idea what is actually Micro small or midsize. thanks, wercurna
