Bank of America: Too Crooked To Fail
Another piece by Matt Taibbi and Rolling Stone, things strike me about this article. Firslty, if even a fraction of it is true then it a profoundly distressing since it is not only a reflection of of BofA but also US society in general. Secondly, why the f#%k cant our journalists and mainstream media be…
Seven Sins Of Fund Management
Over the long weekend I came across this excellent primer on the behavioural issues facing investors. The link to the original follows at the end but I have snipped part of the first page below. Seven sins (common mistakes) were identified. The first was placing forecasting at thevery heart of the investment process. An enormous…
Still Paying A Lot For Not Much
People invested in hedge funds are still paying a lot for very little in the way of actual return. Hedge funds were up 0.59% in March although they still trailed the S&P 500, which was up 3.13% for the month and 12.00% YTD. The Hennessee Hedge Fund Index is up 4.59% YTD. “Hedge funds posted…
This Gives Me The Shits……

Deceptive Headline Of The Year…..So Far
Large Hedge Funds Fared Well in 2011 Apparently they didn’t – their managers did. I have written about this disconnect before, here and here There is a remarkable and somewhat unsavoury difference between what the people who run hedge funds make and what the people who invest in hedge funds make. As an example consider…
A Sign Of Life
At last some vague sign of life – the marked bars represent 52 day highs so at least the market has made a modestly pathetic attempt at making new highs. As opposed to other world markets that have been making successively new highs in the past few months.
A Tale Of Two Brains
I am currently reading the excellent Who’s in Charge?: Free Will and the Science of the Brain which delves into the nature of consciousness and free will. Like all good cross over science books it can be read by the lay person without much difficulty. Whilst follow up on a chapter on split brain surgery I…
