Hedge Fund Advertising
HEDGE FUND ADVERTISING Have you seen all those big full page adsfor hedge funds in the Wall Street Journal, theFinancial Times, Investors Business Daily? Youhaven't. Maybe they are being drowned out by theregular mutual funds who continually tell youhow great they are. Shucks! I forgot. Hedge funds are not allowed to advertise. I wonder why.
Maybe they thinkthat their potential customers are too dumb toknow that hedge funds are a poor investment. Could be. The Securities and Exchange Commissionis trying to protect investors ? I think? To be able to buy into a hedge fund thesmallest investor must have a net worth of$1,000,000 and an income of more than $200,000per year. Maybe the SEC doesn't think thesefolks are bright enough to know a good thingwhen they see it. There are other groups that are major investors with the hedge funds.
Literally billionsof dollars are invested by university endowments,charitable trusts, state and corporate pensionplans. Could it be that they have a betterreturn than regular mutual funds? Naw! The mediawould tell you wouldn't they? The media is there to report the facts. It is hard to believe that just because a largeportion of their income is from advertisingrevenues of mutual funds that they would be laxabout this. If you were a fund manager and your fund was under performing and it was reported in thelocal paper, TV, or radio would you pay them tocarry your advertising? You sure would not wantto be compared with performance of a hedge fund. What is it that makes the difference of astandard mutual fund with a hedge fund? Why doesthe smart money gravitate to them? One word.Performance.
A regular hedge fund manager ispaid on HOW MUCH money he has in his fund andnot on how much he makes for the investor. Thehedge fund manager is paid a percentage of thePROFITS he makes for the investors. No profitmeans no bonus so he better do the job or hewill be out of a job. Smart money moves. Itmoves to where the profit is being made.
The SEC will not allow standard mutual fundmanagers to be compensated in this manner. Theirclaim is that it will be too dangerous for thesmall investor. Hog wash! If a fund is losingmoney the little guy should be selling hiscurrent funds like the smart money and finding abetter performing fund. None of the mediarecommend this to the little guy. My guess is there are enough intelligent fund managers who would like to be paid forperformance and would set up no-load funds toattract investors.
The SEC seems to think moreof the funds than they do of the smallerinvestors. It is a shame you can't check the advertisingclaims of standard mutual funds against the returns of hedge funds..

Just what is Arbitrage Investment??
Just what is Arbitrage Investment?By ? 2005In the simplest of terms, Arbitrage means to exploit price differential.Usually it meant looking at differing sources of an investment, and if there was a price difference between Source A and Source B - then the investor / dealer / broker / manager would buy from the lower priced source, and sell on the higher priced source.Example:-The price of Stock ABC was $20 per share on Exchange XYZThe price of the same Stock ABC on another Exchange 123 - was $15The dealer would buy the stock from Exchange 123 for $15 - then sell on Exchange XYZ for $20 - making $5 per share profit (minus costs).Typically the price differential was very small - and trading had to be extremely quick and liquid - otherwise the markets could go against you in a very short time.Ten years ago Arbitrage was more commonplace than it is today - for a number of reasons.Nowadays, Arbitrage still exists, but either in limited formats and availability as direct arbitrage, or more...

Imaginative Homemade Bodybuilding Shakes Using Protein Supplements
If you are serious about building muscle mass or sculpting your body you most likely supplement your diet with commercially available whey or soy protein powders (and possibly other supplements). No doubt within a short period of time you discovered the protein shakes whey powders produce may not be the best tasting drinks you've ever had. Despite this you try to stick with them because your goal is a better body and a supplement shake that doesn't taste so great is simply a sacrifice you make.
