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:

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

geez Doc, if WND is "fascist", then what are NYT, Wash Post, et al ??

 

WND just has a different set of articles. Just as with the NYT, you might actually read something useful there, if you're careful to filter out the noise. For instance, there was a VERY interesting piece on WND about the MOST rev :lol: Jesse Jackson ('s criminal background :lol: ) on WND. I'd never seen squat about it on our "major media"....

 

mornin' all. Good trading today ! :D

Something to be aware of because it is backed by history every stock market crash has occured within 4 days of a lunar eclipse that comes 28 days after a solar eclipse. Tomorrow is a full lunar eclipse and is one day from the anniversary of the 1929 low. Chris carolan who won the Charles Dow award a few years for ago for his technical expertise is very much a believer in this phenomena. We are now within the time band... to know more simply google-"full moon and stock markets." there is a window at the bell for 70 minutes, Helmets on, Buckle up! ;)
