Euro 2012
Apparently, Euro 2012 is this year. You know that sport where massively over paid prima donnas go down at the slightest touch only to make a Lazurus like recovery. As opposed to athletes who are paid less but seem to be more resilient. In an attempt to avoid a drop in stock market trading volume…
Michael Geismers $710,000 Blackjack Breakfast
I have just finished reading about Michael Geismer in Hedge Fund Wizards (I’m still not overly enamoured with the book) and nothing in it so far has convinced me that hedge funds are not run for their managers. Take Geismers fund – it apparently returns 12% on average of which he trousers 30%. Consider this…
File This One Away
Whilst doing some reading this morning I had the misfortune of coming across this. I love a good prediction – wonder whether he has any money on it?
Still Sideways
Despite the euphoria of those who are proclaiming the worst is over on the back of a single positive day – this chart is enlightening. Sometimes it is worthwhile removing as much noise from the chart as possible., Until we break this range one way or another I am not convinced about anything……

Hedge Fund Wizards
I mentioned the other day that I had started reading Hedge Fund Wizards and I have to admit it is a little flat. Whislt, I am only part way through I have noticed a few things. Firstly, Schwager seems to have fallen into the hedge fund myth. The forward to the book gives the impression…
Jack Schwager Interview
Jack Schwager is interviewed by Micheal Martin about his new book Hedge Fund Wizards.
This Country Is Stuffed
If you have ever wondered why this country is stuffed consider this little incident from the weekend. Yesterday was the mid point meeting of our Mentor Program, during the lunch break LB and I are busy doing stuff in the room and dont have time to go down to the restaurant for lunch. To fix…
SEC: Taking on Big Firms is ‘Tempting,’ But We Prefer Picking On Little Guys
More from Matt Taibbi the best finance journalist around at present It’s by now been well-established that the S.E.C.’s performance in policing Wall Street before, after, and during the crash has been comically inept. It would be putting it generously to say that the top cop on the financial services beat has demonstrated particular incompetence…
