Absolutely, we have to start from somewhere. and Uk law applies just as much as any other country's law.

oh I agree, above average returns should be taken with caution, but consider this Madoff was on the advisory board of the SEC. who would not trust him. And for all those fund of funds who invested with him. I am not passing judgement on anybody, but if anybody did their dudiligence they would...

well for the sake of 1000 USD. For allot of people that is throw away money. Secondly if you study the Madoff case, you could smell that a mile off, and Madoff was a hedge fund no a fund of fund. But my point is the day a hedge fund is its one prime broker, you know things are just plain wrong...

Very well, it is a free world and I respect your comments. Just to point out, Lehman was registered, legit and had a $100K website.

Ill be your writer!!

Can I just ask which IB it is your are with or considering?

I am curious...why do you keep your funds with a firm which could not make money over the last 6 months.

if you can afford it get a Bloomberg terminal.

My apologies, I got the hedging strategy wrong. It is a little more complex than just taking the opposite position in the live market. Once you enter a trade, to hedge the s/b can use a number of ways including options to minimise their own exposure. However the exact way they go about this I am...
