Traders, Hedge funds and Returns



Hello guys, Now I’m coming to describe a bit about the hedge funds world… so desire by lot of people out of financial world.  As I never mentioned and honestly don’t like… I used to work at Citigroup and could knew how the financial world works not totally cause I’m still learning day by day from some traders and experts out there.



Lets start with traders I can imagine that vast majority of you have already be heard about these names, GEORGE SOROS, WARREN BUFFET*, JESSE LIVERMORE , PAUL TUDOR, JIM ROGERS, MARC FABER and so on. “THEY ARE THE MEDIA TRADERS” what do I mean by Media traders? They are the guys who is always on TV, magazines, seminar, universities. However If I say to you that there are even great traders than them? Delivering results much more greater and consistently along the years. You could shout WTF I never heard about them ok here comes a list of few traders out of the media with amazing results over years and years:
 - ED SEIKOTA, MIKE STATHIS, ALESSIO RASTANI, LARRY HITE, MARTY SCHARTWAZ, BRUCE KOVNER, TIM SYKES, LUIS STUHLBERGER…. And the list carry on heheh
( I have to mention a deep admiration for Mike Stathis I have learned more from them in one year then in 4 years at university however Its my personal view all the other traders are fanstastic  and I also got trading knowledge from them.)


What makes me say about them is simple the greatest traders and more efficient ones are OUT OF MEDIA… why? Because they have an exclusive niche of customers and deliver results astonishing HIGHS…. Just and average of 100% a year and sometimes MUCH MORE… you can barely dream about this numbers or not? :D

Here comes the trick. learn to trade can give you returns unbelievable great too. A simple strategy can give you 100% a year over capital and the only thing you have to know is learn one strategy , be patient , disciplined and don’t over trade. With years of experience you might become a great trader and investor but it won’t happen in 2 or even 5 years… maybe in 10 years you can be a great trader because of your knowledge from markets but you don’t need 10 years of experience to make 100% a year. The reality is everyone can make it but only few achieve it most cause of themselves.


Hedge funds over time makes not better than 20% anual (THE BEST ONES), the vast majority loss year by year from benchmarks and Bonds. ( By the way I’m Brazilian, the bonds there pays 12% a year so is much more easier to see hedge funds returns here SUCKS). In the book the Hedge funds mirage the author mention about this FANTASY about funds they don’t make money THEY MAKE COMMISIONS however year by year people get stuck in their hands. Most of it is because of lack of economic knowledge and trading strategies that can be learned by anyone and applied as simple as it sounds.


In conclusion as far as you get dedication to learn how to trade you will never more be an easy pray for funds because you will be able to manage your own money better than anyone else and or you can find a LOW PROFILE TRADER who generate awesome results over years but you will be charged quite a bit for it and end like this WHO’S BETTER THAN ANYONE TO MANAGE YOUR MONEY IF NOT YOURSELF! :D
