Hedge Fund Rout Continues

August 17, 2016 By E.J. Smith

Back in May I highlighted the analysis of Dan Loeb of Third Point LLC who, in April, said “There is no doubt that we are in the first innings of a washout in hedge funds." He was right, and hedge fund prospects are dropping like dominoes around the world. Today The Wall Street Journal ran a big cover story on the withdrawals plaguing previously anointed hedge funds Brevan Howard and Tudor Investment Corp. Laurence Fletcher and Gregory Zuckerman, writing in the WSJ, get right to the point, "The funds’ problem is clear: They just aren’t performing." Hedge funds offer clients great rewards … [Read more...]

October 25, 2017 By E.J. Smith

When saving, you must consider the potentially high costs of medical care during your retirement years.

In Search for Alpha, Hedge Funds Focus on the (Really) Short Term

October 1, 2019 By E.J. Smith

Dove satellites built by Planet Labs Hedge funds and market speculators are known for focusing on the short-term. Guessing whether or not a company "beats" or "misses" it's quarterly earnings guidance numbers, and by how much, has become a parlor game critical to the strategies of many funds and traders. But with a digital revolution that has produced a cascade of data for investors, hedge funds and others are focusing on very short-term information to paint a broader picture. A new venture called Planet Labs is capitalizing on the short-term data trend by launching a group of … [Read more...]

It’s Time to Move Out of Mom’s Basement

October 25, 2017 By E.J. Smith

At MarketWatch.com today, Quentin Fottrell reports that the number of multi-generational households has been skyrocketing in the last few years. Translation: a bunch of adult Americans are still living in Mom's basement. That's not good for them, or for the economy. Household formation is a great catalyst for economic growth, and more importantly, developing financial independence begins with, well..., independence. Young adults need to break out on their own and attempt to become members of the ownership society. Now, there are demographic trends holding back household formation. For … [Read more...]
