Boomberg is just another infomercial. The writers are paid shills, no better than the veg-o-matic salesman on the boardwalk in Atlantic City.

Next, I suppose you'll try to tell us we can't believe any of those nice people on Crapvision, either.

Hedgehogs at the brink:

 

The $866-billion hedge fund industry was making a last-ditch attempt to stop the Securities and Exchange Commission from adopting a plan today that would impose new regulations on hedge funds, the private investment partnerships designed for wealthy investors.

 

Arbitrage this

 

There's a HUGE problem here ... the hedge fund industry is full of funds that are departing from their 'market neutral' investment guidelines, and even some outright frauds.

 

If the SEC lifts the corner of the carpet to expose this thriving cockroach metropolis, it will be like Enron-squared. And liquidity in the financial markets will be but a memory.

 

Here comes the pinprick ... got shorts? :lol:

 

p.s. Go to bugmenot.com if you need a login/password for the L.A. Times.

Be careful what you wish for. Hedge funds do no exist in great numbers. The modern day hedge fund community is simply a group of leveraged investment pools. Unwinding the double down "hedges" could take down commodities faster than it takes down equities, since the latter will be supported by the mutual fraud industry.

 

Consider these popular "hedged" strategies:

 

Long nickel, Al, copper, lead, zinc, etc... Long steel stocks

Long steel .... Long deep cylicals

long unleaded fuel, heating oil, transport stocks .... short crude

Rog;

 

Hedge funds involved, on a large scale, in any hedge plays involving PMs?

Absolutely. They are a driving force in the short dollar thesis. One of the reasons I wouldn't be suprised if the dollar rallied a bit here. Of course I wouldn't be suprised if it fell out of bed either.
