who cares about hedge funds. your not a hedge fund manager. to be a hedge fund manager, you need to be certified and spend $5000 in course fees.
You do not need any certification or licensing to be a hedge fund manager... And if $5k scares you go troll somewhere else, everyone on this site at one time or another has lost $5k...
is that the big barrier to entry? 5k in course fees and certification? by the way im just curious if you wanted to manage money and was trading options, would you have to register with finra or as a CTA/CPO?
