You are not presenting any facts. Not presenting any statistics, cases or examples. Just opinion. What you can't rationalize can't possible be reality, can it?
i will give you the opportunity to show me articles in respectable sources that prove hedge fund and mutual fund managers can outperform the market as a class after expenses. if what you say is true you should easily be able to proveit. soros and buffett are such anomalies that the press fawns over them
The burden of proof is on you, not me. You are questioning the rationale of billions of dollars invested by leading institutions, family offices and endowments, not me. I posted a live single FOF track record and the equal-weight FOF sub-index of the leading hedge fund index (HFRX). So far, all you have presented for your case was your personal opinion, nothing else.
<< Many times women can't cope with the fact that a man can be emotional and fragile," she said. Many times, these women will start comparing their husbands to other, more successful men, and adultery becomes an issue, Parker said. "These people sincerely believe that their lives are over." >> WTF ??!!! I'm glad I'm broke and single.

marketsurfer Thanks for the post. Re the F3, I'm not surpised. That's what I like about the markets, somebody is always inventing a new wheel.
I'm going to let you in on a little secret- You are in the Wall Street News forum. Do me a favor- start a thread about how you can beat ANY hedge fund manager over ANY time period, dealing in EVERY discipline and market. Then, walk away for about 30 minutes. Come back and see just how much love you've gotten from the masses here. I feel dumber for having read all of your posts in this thread. Now, I know if I had more patience, I could explain this to you and eventually, you would catch on. But I have reached the end of my rope with you now, so goodbye. And don't feel you have to respond to this. If it helps you, I will stipulate that you are the most knowledgeable trader in the world. Nobody's better than you. Best of luck and keep your head up, partner.
thanks. its a very dynamic space in the niche sections. most hedge funds, however, have become instituionalized thus are no better than the institutions they were created to compete with. 90% of all hedge funds are simple long/short funds with no edge that they can articulate. the niche space is still creating phenomenal returns, in fact ,some are downright shocking. surf
