| Ian, this weekend I saw an article about those who were willing to "risk" going into the housing delimma with investments. Think I can find the article. Nope. I was going to read the article later. I'm pretty sure the word "hedge" was used.
Yes, I would imagine Hedge Hunters is a good read.

The book is a brief summary of Hedge Fund managers, how the fund started, and some history about it. It's worth checking out if you're into that sort of thing which I am. If you're not there are still some interesting tidbits about certain personality traits that successful fund managers and their successful traders have in common.
It's a sort of breakfast for champions in the financial sector. |

| Ian... Rodd Knox(???) being a jackass aside, I think I know what he was getting at, though I don't know that he did it very tactfully.
I love to read, but can't imagine reading a book about hedge fund managers. It's a to each their own type of thing. I think that's what he was getting at because I was thinking the same thing when I first read this thread. I'd probably never crack the cover of that book but that doesn't mean there aren't a bazillion other folks out there who would. Some folks just can't think outside of the box they live in when it comes to certain things. Go figure. <shrug> |
