  2. you should. water, in the next 50 years, will become a more valuable resource than oil and gold combined.

    definitely. better start buying water management & providing stocks. or even better businesses which make clean water from salted water.

  3. myth or not myth #2: black guys think white guys have big balls. i mean testicle size literally.

    me and my affiliates formally denies this affirmation.

    really i never thought that. maybe i'm not black inside

    sleazie, i don't get it. what do you mean?

    belladonna for sure guys!

  5. Interesting perception. I think there may be some truth to your statement, but I think you also have to take into account the fact that hedge funds aren't obligated to release financial statement information like publicly traded companies; thus there really isn't any definitive means of knowing the true returns/vol avgs of hedges funds. I think this aspect will positively skew the volalitiy avgs for hedges funds to be lower than actuality, since hedge funds that are doing poorly won't have an incentive to release "bad data". This sort of "surviveship bias" will, in my opinion, reflects positively on the existing avg data returns of hedges funds which may not entirely reflect the reality.

    I agree with the fact that by being not obligated to release any statements, if perfs are bad they're less likely to publish it. But actually since information is more disponible, you would know if they run bad look at LTCM, Amaranth or more recently the Bear Stearns' funds.

    And if you look at returns on a year basis, and since hedge funds really started running in the 90's , you can easily get the average volatility by looking at annual returns and see that in terms of volatility they outperform indexes as the S&P, especially for long/short strategies, because if in a bullish market they don't catch the whole"upping" of the markets, in a bearish one, like 2002, they manage to get (little) positive returns while indexes are down 30%, so on the long-term they get pretty much constant returns.
