Default Interesting hedge fund implosion site

From the makers of mortgage lender implode:

http://hf-implode.com/

There are some fascinating stories linked in the site, like Harvard losing $350,000,000 in a hedge fund:

http://www.bloggingbuyouts.com/2007/08/0...ood-investment/

Should be interesting to follow, especially with Goldman's GEO fund "bail-out".

Careful, you are going to upset the permabulls on this forum. I noticed a majority of them went into hiding today. I don't blame them.

Bulls4L...but seriously I don't think that there are many permabulls here but rather there's a lot of people that don't think it's very easy/possible to predict the market and they believe that over time it will go up. Thus they keep saying that putting your money in for the long run is the best most people can do.

"hedge fund" has become quite the oxymoron

the market goes up over time because of the constant de-valuation of the the currency you measure it against.
