So that $1 billion fund of funds that Citadel used to run? Yeah, not so much anymore. The "Fusion Fund" is no more, the capital now assigned to "emerging talent" or the like. Citadel is, apparently, moving to the incubator business. I guess we are supposed to think Tiger Cubs and the like?
It seems that 5% of the fund is outside capital. That will be "returned." (At par? You got me).

did anyone hear Jon Stewart bust out the Shamwow reference on the Daily Show last night when he was asking Obama about his 'infomercial'?

On June 5th, 2005, at about 4 O'Clock PM, the thought suddenly struck me that the real-estate boom had just crested. The boom continued for awhile, but only because of momentum. The engine driving the boom had already backed off.
Another thought stuck me, only moments ago. The tide just turned against obama; he's going to lose.

TGFD - you may be on(to) something there re:obama - i agree - he can't close the deal against "the worst president evar", a cranky geriatric and a beauty queen. Shocking.

They want to be the next Goldman Sachs at a time that not even Goldman Sachs wants to be the old Goldman Sachs.
These guys at Citadel are a joke. Their HR department is bigger than our whole firm, and we run more money.

Citadel is mostly dead. See, there's a big difference between mostly dead, and all dead. Now, mostly dead: he's slightly alive.

TGFD,
I'm with you on this one. The Obamamercial last night was a telethon of sad tales, followed by how the government would show up with a handout to make it all better.
Americans don't like whiners. We don't like losers. Get up, brush yourself off. Don't go begging to the gummin't to lighten your load.

@24: you are correct, 'mericans don't like whiners.
we also don't like nouveau-riche-glorified-day-traders, the likes that our hard earned dollars are currently bailing out.
real 'mericans all hoped that Wall Street would go teets-up.
during the impending civil war, us real 'mericans would hunt down you traders, whilst our mullets blow in the wind. we would systematically exterminate all y'all with extreme prejudice.

@#21...
You are another wannabee TGFD imposter. I should be flattered by your attempted impersonation of TGFD, but next time, use your own identity.

p.s. I might not mind if you posted something I'd agree with, but when you post lunacy, TGFD just has to correct your nonsense.
