Hedge Funds

[YHB]

I work for one of the largest Hedge funds who are doing fine.

Its quite simple- over 10'000 exist, they sprung up all over the place- most were juniors & deputies going off on their own and blagging the capital using the brand of their prior employers etc.

Easier to do in the good times than the bad- time to seperate the men from the boys.

Hedge funds have an important role to play in stabilising markets (that's what I was always taught)!

In 5 years there would be no more than a couple of thousand.

How about Hedge funds have an important role in pushing up the oil price through speculation.
Now most of them have disappeared, I can fill up car with petrol again

How about Hedge funds correctly predict the way the Opec oil Cartel will control oil production and thus the prices.

Good post and totally agree - it was shocking the amount that have opened up in the last 5 years but there all in tulipe nearly the big boys obv spread there hedge's but Id expect a large amount of them to take some serious hits in the coming months - as alot are taking "opposites" in the hope they cover their outlays - scary but who cares they deserve it.

A friend of mine yday was out celebrating as his 4 man team made £23 Million yesterday on the Dollar - nothing has changed here - people will still get there bonues in some way and stuff like this will STILL occur and IS occuring

If you made a good point you totally obscured it by writing it in the style of an adolescent cretin with a mobile phone fixation.

The word THERE while it sounds very similar to the words THEIR and THEY'RE has a completely different meaning and so isn't a suitable substitute, especially if you want people to take you seriously as a grown up.

There is some good news - certainly if you worked for Bankrupt Lehman Bros in New York - courtesy of the US taxpayer !!!

Told you the Bailout was a Fraud - its an executlive welfare package.

Sadly we're not standing shoulder to shoulder with the US on this one - just look at the whinging Londoners reaction below.

As they say in Texas- if you're so smart - how come you aint rich ???



Up to 10,000 staff at the New York office of the bankrupt investment bank Lehman Brothers will share a bonus pool set aside for them that is worth $2.5bn (£1.4bn), Barclays Bank, which is buying the business, confirmed last night.

The revelation sparked fury among the workers' former colleagues, Lehman's 5,000 staff based in London, who currently have no idea how long they will go on receiving even their basic salaries, let alone any bonus payments. It also prompted a renewed backlash over the compensation culture in global finance, with critics claiming that many bankers receive pay and rewards that bore no relation to the job they had done.

Hedge funds are going to be rapidly biting the dust as lenders call in their loans.

Personally, I am pleased that these parasites will get what is coming to them.

If I want a lesson in English I'll cum to you - as I don't and will never - your post is merely stemming from "look at me, Im a contractor who is overpayed and Im real good! and I know it all" syndrome but in essence you are probably that child in Service Support that walks about drinking Green Tea not realising that when he walks past everything thinks "tosser".

Hmm, in hindsight that was harsh but there ya go.
