I came after marketsurfer era, so i haven't read all his posts. Some are pretty obvious. Like @SillyWilly and @TheBigShort
%% Except+Ela,the so called ''value/low PE hedge funds/mutual funds'' tend to underperform.LOL/LOL Most my comments are based on hindsight.Mr Robertson/Tiger Fund did well as a value invester; but with 20/20 hindsight, if anyone see a value hedge fund close=consider selling your'' in the mail redemptions/US Airways/ ''bankrupt airline stocks, even though LUV low cost airline has done real well..........................................................
having a clue is not a requirement to start a hedge fund. they all have a clue about the 2/20 fee structure though.
you are consistently wrong just like your posts on this thread. Marketsurfer was banned from ET. thanks for your additional misinformation. keep up the good work.
%% True; but they got so much competition, some do lower than that....And Mr Steve Cohen got up to 2.75/30%..... Its like RE, many charge 7% but i paid 10% because it was worth it + NO MLS agents in that area for years. BUT the someone that bought some property thru that 10%team refused to pay him anything on some of my property, so he did not get 10% ,100%% of the time...........................................................................................................
The problem with a lot of hedge funds is that they spend so much time finding clients, dealing with clients, etc that they don't really have the time to focus on generating returns. It becomes an asset gathering game instead of a market-focused returns game.
Successful and trading is all about finding simple truths. In a way, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Having more employees, analysts, and traders doesn't mean that a fund will outperform an average trader
I don't think hedge funds can be as bad as clueless retail investors since it takes ability and track record to raise the initial AUM to start up. They have to at least be above average to have a track record first.
