PrivateWarrior1 Says:
LehmanBros, CitiBANK and its BANKS, BANK of America etc... are NOT Hedge Funds. They are Banks. Hence the need to regulate them because they use regular people's money. The banking industry should be treated like the utilities industries. Hell maybe even nationalized. But stay out of the investments industry. Blame the pension funds managers, not the hedge funds. What happened to risk in Capitalism?????

Funny how a news piece on hedge funds can rank in the top 4 search results on Youtube.com years later...some of this information is a bit outdated. - Richard Wilson Hedge Fund Group
IMD Says:
I havent read the Black Swan yet..guess it is time to pick up the book! We live in a complex system that delivers extreme deviations. Current risk management and economic analyses methods fail us in such a system because of low predictability. What should we do in such an environment? At the IMD OWP 2010, Nassim Nicholas Taleb will present simple rules (lower leverage, less reliance on deficit spending, less mathematical risk management) for a black swan robust economic system.

Actually brokeinvestor, hedge funds should NOT be regulated more ! Instead, the PENSION FUNDS should be regulated more and forbidden to invest in high risk/high return assets like hedge funds. Pension funds had no business investing in hedge funds. These funds are designed for wealthy "accredited investors"...people who can afford to take big gambles. Sophisticated private investors should be allowed to invest in hedge funds without lots of beauracratic red tape and excessive regulations.

Why were pension funds allowed to "invest" in a Hedge fund. Hedge funds are nothing more that gambling?
videoburns1 Says:
Right .. like pros at Lehman understood the risks they were taking,,, or the pros at Bear Stearns or the pros at CitiBank or Bank America.... Thereis no credible arguement against regulation and transparency in financial industry - omfg indeed tell me exactly who understood the risks in the credit default swaps ... the big problem is that they did understand and that they understood that the risks weren't their risks... the risk was ours! And now we are paying.

Next time you could have a crisis of confidence if someone fails to pay someone else. Yeah, next time like all of 2008. Hah! We didn't even have to wait long.

Under every hedge, Strategicaly Hyped Investment Tranches can be found ,everybody loses everything at the same time so no panic, as the market disapears before any opportunity for panic arises

Amaranth - "immortal". Look up "Cerberus". Financial Engineers? Try psychology. Diversification? For people who really don't know what they're doing.

wsnobody is one of those traders who have been doing a character assassination on nassim because they are unhappy with his message. taleb owns a piece of a big fund.
