Ebo, No, i just don't want to get shit when everyone from ET rolls into the fund after its up 50% in 5 months and suffers a 15% to 25% drawdown and suddenly I'm the bad guy. Yeah I remember that drawdown last March. I added some money. I only add capital on drawdowns. I'm just trying to help a fellow ETer out. And btw EBO, I have not been pounding the table for 3 days, I have been responding to outright lies about the fund. And I will continue to do so. Quadriga is a great fund no doubt about that and it's a great retirement vehicle for me but like I said, I make far more money trading then I do in Quadriga but its nice to have something like Quadriga on the side. Godspeed.
MAV: I am not trying nor do I mean to attack you for your diligence and energy towards "Q" funds. I have a "decent" amount of my nest egg in there as well. I am just sick of the uneducated assholes on this board that have to attack everybody and everything they do not understand. My advice to you, let these mental midgets find out on their own. There is no upside giving anybody investment advice on here. Again, first cocktail is on me if we ever have a "Q" shareholder meeting! best, ebo
Maverick74, I got this from website: "* Please understand that there is no guarantee that Quadriga Superfund, L.P. Series A or Series B will achieve the same results as Quadriga GCT or Quadriga AG. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Quadriga Superfund Series A and Series B are new investment offering and have no performance history. (03/96-05/03)" Earlier you have mentioned that superfund is basically using the same system(s). Is this just a legal wordsmithery or a valid statement? What is your take on this?
I think it's just legal BS. They are covering their ass. They have to say that in the US. In reality, the funds do have slightly different performance numbers. But only by a fractions of a percentage point or so. But thats enough with the right lawyer to legally go after Quadriga if they make the claim that the results would be identical. Hope that explains it.
I guess i'm a moron, because I own Quadriga B and I don't even know what a drawdown is. Please explain, and is that the rigth tiem to add new money? I have more cahs to add to help diversify from my equity holdings. Dave P.S. Anyone know of any other hedge fund or managed account that has low minimum, such as Quadrigas $5k minimum. To diversify from my tech daytrading portfolio.
Yo Gator! A "Drawdown" is a hedge fund manager's nice way of saying shitty month! For example, if there is a 10% Drawdown this month, the fund was simply down 10% from the close of last month. The term is commonly used by CTA s. Ideally you want a Fund that does not have HUGE drawdowns! (I am sure someone will correct me within 5 minutes.) best, ebo PS: Take a look at a few of The JWH (John W. Henry) Funds. http://www.jwh.com/home.asp
Ebo, I work in the building next to JWH funds in Boca Raton, FL. I doubt he has low enough minimums for me, unless you were mentioning that he has drawdowns. His performance hasnt been that great. His best move was buying the Red Sox and fenway park, too bad he didnt fork out the money for A-Rod. Another bad move, Steinbrenner will win a few pennantrs with A-Rod. Anyway, I need a low cost way to diversify my stock holdings besides Quadriga, maybe Real Estate, maybe Fixed Income, maybe a Market Neutral investment.
I'm pretty sure Man have some retail funds or at least vehicles that allow retail investments into hedge funds.
