All-Staff Dark Arts Retreat Paying Off Big Time

By

MERLIN.gifWe love ourselves some Short Selling Wizards, so it’s been prettay prettay prettay tough to take the bad news coming out of Merlin-ville of late. This bit of excellent news was just the pick-me up we needed: Kynikos’ Ursus International fund is said to have returned 18.01 percent for October and 45.53 percent year to date. Presumably this feat was accomplished through nightly candle-lit summonings of Isaac Le Maire on an Ouija board, and the sacrificing of several live goats, which is the modus operandi of this particular subset of fund managers, according to Christopher Cox. Anyway, we’re realists and know this high (our’s, not K’s) can’t last, so confidential to the rest of the group: send us your returns. Ackman–I know you’ve got something great to share. Falcone–surely you can come up with something!

      Surprising that it’s only 18% for October. They get paid on an inverse-market basis.
      Which would mean this year they’re the equivalent of a down 11%, long-only, relative-pay fund (or an up 17% absolute return).

      Glad to see DealBreaker has such a sophisticated process for selecting images to represent its stories. Search on google images for “Merlin Wizard” and see what I mean.

      @8 Actualy its not all that sopgisticated to do a google search and then save the image, upload it to a host and then link to it or you coulds links to its directly.
      On a side notes my band will be playing this weakend to help celebrate the Obama victory.
      SPODE and the Anal Destroyer’s with special guest Anal_yst on the bongos wearing ruby red chaps and a matching vest.
      Out new single title “Bernoulli Blow Jobs” has received rave reviews in the Punk underground especially in the NYC Hardcore seen.
      Not sure what the outcome will be, success or failure, so come out and support us. This will be the first of many promotional events sponsored by DealBreaker so hit Bess up with an email to get the time and location.
