In Disappointing Year, Bridgewater’s Flagship Fund Returns 0.5%

All of them are simply too big/cap-constrained. Citadel realized early on that they would be CC and moved into operations. You look at BW's filings and it's all the same shit; AAPL, AMZN, etc.

 

that's what I meant by the 1000 monkeys.... if you start with 1024, year 1 512 monkeys over perform, year 2 256 over perform 2 years in a row ....

after 10 years you are statistically guaranteed to have 1 monkey that has won 10 years in a row... and considering there are so many monkeys on wall street.... you get the idea

but the problem is the monkey is still a coin flip monkey, so once you hand your money to them, you will get coin flip performance.

 

and then these guys go on TV to talk a big game... Ray Dalio what bullet proof portfolio? just blind ass diversification, one of the worst idea in the current environment.

 

BW filings are only stock. They most definitely have investments in a whole bunch of shit worldwide.

 

ino. Look at their 13F history of timing AAPL. 10% of their portfolio and they don't know how to trade it.

 

%%
A much bigger probleM for most hedge funds, even though maybe not a problem for BridgeW, Paul Tudor Jones, Mike Masters/Marlin fund;
QQQ has beat them so much= its a shame. Then many hedge fund raised/trended up fees; QQQ, SPY, UPRO ,VOO lowered fees, + made a mint on high Volume

 

I don't know if they trade TBH. Could be a hedge, or something else.

 

You go from $16B in shares to $12B in April? Stock rallies almost 50% from their reduction (to date).

 

happy they cannot traffic in midcap and small caps. More inefficiencies for retail guys to exploit.

 

Like I said, it's probably part of their portfolio. The results speak for themselves! lol
