Soup is alot like sausage... if you want to enjoy it, you really don't want to know what's in it.

Right, absolutely. But the story on the street is many of the hedge funds are getting creamed on bad energy plays. (Which made them a fortune until recently.) They're trying to "double down" and catch an equity puke. Who's waiting in the wings to help them lose some more money? GS, MS, JPM? Remember, there's a counterparty to every trade that exists on the books. Hedge funds could lose a stack if the stock market has one more major push higher. That's the "spike" I was talking about earlier in the post.

U.F.O.


The problem is two of the biggest hedge funds, if not the two biggest hedge funds, in the world are GS and MWD. You can buy them on the NYSE and invest in the fund directly....LOL. You also get a secondary investment banking business.
