0.1 Percent Is The New 50+

Posted by Bess Levin, Oct 09, 2008, 11:00am

Eric Mindich,* you've got competition! At least one Tiger Cub is doing Julian Roberston proud, relatively speaking. Viking Global is down a measly 6.5 percent for the third quarter, and up 0.1% YTD.

*I know Eton Park is not at Cub, I'm just talking about competition among hedge funds not taking it up the urethra, relatively speaking.

shit post
DB has been falling quickly in carney's absence
at a time when DB should be working hard to do their best, they are slacking and doing their worst

@ 6

Yes I agree, your post is quite shitty. Thank you for informing us in the first line. It gives the reader fair warning that what follows is utter shit.

@6 - Carney is that you?

Viking is a hedge fund - they don't have "associates". Go back to B school.

@6- how is posting an investor letter that hasn't been printed anywhere a shit post? answer: either you are Halvorsen or you are Carney.

blodget and carney should really stop leaving comments on db. so not classy. but what do you expect of a white collar criminal and a hack writer?

"taking it up the urethra."

Reading that made me shiver.

It's called "sounding". Google it, I dare you.

@6 i am a hedge fund manager, what is a shit post?

You guys are such jackasses. When carney was here, you praise him to the skies. Now that he's gone, you treat him like outcasts.

0.1% YTD? My bank account just outperformed them.

16 - 15 here, I am going home now, I'm too upset to face the day.

Whatever happened to the good ole days of eating a porterhouse off a hookers ass?

Bad hedge fund performance means fewer hedge funds. Lots of "collateral" damage in the meantime. How long is this going to take?

what about the chicago hedge funds? citadel? magnetar?

21 you are 100% spot on

When do the backlash of redemptions stop beating down these markets?

Posted by guest, Oct 09, 2008 12:52PM

Victory!
