  2. That's pretty brutal RM. I seriously doubt their gayness had anything to do with the funds performance (or lack thereof) ... oh, I know, why don't you give your loot to some straight guy who's siphoning off funds so he can pay for his mistress? :p

    Just joking wicha, you really shouldn't give your money to any of these guys, but I'm sure you already know that.

  4. Right. But you get enuf of them pissed off, the politicians llisten to them. Hedge Funds run, and brokers sell to, those huge pools of money in government that are now being decimated, and you, Surf, will have to help bail out. That's the battle. The everyday guy has to lose his pension so he sees he has a stake in cleaning up this brothel.

    I, unfortunatly, have become very aware of the political system in the past several years. I'm dreaming of the good ole days of the Soviet Union. Sort of the, "yeah, it sucks, your dad is in prison, but you know what you're dealling with."

  5. ok.

    what you need to keep in mind is for every press worthy wild child in the HF business, there are multiples who live quiet, conservative lives. it's the same for any big money business, only the wild ones make the news.

    best wishes,

  6. Oh, I fully agree. Dr. Byrne told us that, while he was cancelled at a speech a year ago, now, fully 50 to 60% of the hedgies are now on his side. That was for the PIPEs conference. Unfortunately, the bad ones kill a lot of folks, a disporportionate number.

  7. In the famous words of Worm: "Women are the rake in life".

    But it's definitely not all bad.
