    Solengo’s TM should be “If you are going to dance, then dance”

    In Solengo’s defense, if you actually read the brochure–and I’m not sure anyone here has–it’s clear that Brian Hunter isn’t necessarily the only fund manager involved. There are multiple fund managers. And, it’s not obvious from the brochure that Hunter is even trading, technically-speaking. However, the brochure has a whiff of obfuscation about it, and the jargon and lingo are way over-the-top. I’d be suspicious. Two-year lock-up? No thanks.

    Interesting. Hunter is a maths and physics grad. So much for the famed “genius” of quants. He should have studied for a liberal arts degree.

    More money has been lost in energy trading by MBAs, mathematicians and engineers than by any other degreed trading professional.

    NEW YORK (Reuters) – Solengo Capital Advisors, a new hedge fund founded by former Amaranth Advisors traders, sued DealBreaker on Monday over the Wall Street-focused Web site’s refusal to remove a Solengo marketing document.
    The hedge fund sued the Web site, its publisher, two editors and certain employees for copyright infringement in a federal court in Manhattan, saying the document, the Solengo investor prospectus, contained “extremely sensitive, proprietary information.”
    “This proprietary information is integral to Solengo’s ability to gain an edge over competitors, standing in the marketplace, and appeal to potential investors,” Solengo said in the complaint.

    Great God Google’s googlebot automatically generates html versions of pdf documents when it crawls the web. These are cached, at least for a while.
    So, if you must read the Solengo marketing masterpiece, go here and then copy the tiny text and paste it into Word or whatever:
