(For the woefully uninformed, Tiger Cubs all live in a house together with patriarch Julian Robertson. Winners upstairs in the master bedroom, losers on the sofa bed in the basement.)
Viking Global Equities III Ltd.:
As of the close on 12/31/08:
Dec 2008: 1.00%
YTD: -1.14%
Nasty.
The YTD sounds more like “Viking Global T-Bills” (took the year off but still charged the 2% management fee.)
@2
Shit if the douche bag managing my 401k did that I’d be THRILLED!
@3
You manage your 401K
@4
Nice!
I’ve made a bit following this clown. At least it has been better than the crap in my mutual funds.
Interesting trading ideas, nothing on the long-term investing front, though.

viking is not a cub.
Andreas in da HOUSE!
yes it is dumbass @9 http://www.marketfolly.com/2008/12/hedge-fund-tracking-andreas-halvorsens.html
#3. Sorry about your 401k. Do they allow short ETFs? Probably not. My IRA ending last year was up over 60%. Mostly because I “traded” using QID, SKF etc.
@9 – Go back to http://finance.yahoo.com/
@11, @13. sorry. A cub is a fund seeded by Robertson. Viking does not, never has, and never will have any Robertson capital.
@14- you are an absolute moron.
careful there 15 – I think he’s correct.
@16- no, he’s not. ask anyone with a passing familiarity of the hf world what the three most well known tiger cubs are and they will say Lone Pine, Maverick and Viking.
@17. want me to call purcell and put him on the line for you? do you even know who that is? probably not, as all you have is a passing familiarity.
from a bio of Julian Robertson:
“Robert Burch, a former Tiger investor and lifelong friend, believes that Robertson’s real strength and talent lies in his ability to pick people who have gone on to do such great things in the hedge funds. Burch is, of course, talking about the Tiger Cubs, the people who have come out of the organization and set up very successful hedge funds. Like Robertson, most of the Cubs are dedicated to the Julian-Alfred Jones model and style of investing.
Burch is speaking of people like Lee S. Ainslie III at Maverick, who runs about $7.5 billion; Griffin at Blue Ridge Capital, who runs more than $1.1 billion; O. Andreas Halvorsen at Viking Capital, with more than $3.5 billion; and Stephen Madel Jr., who runs more than $4 billion at Lone Pine Capital. All of them have built extremely successful hedge funds, and all started at Tiger and served under Robertston in various capacities.”

There’s really two classes of cubs, the original generation of Tiger Alums who launched their own funds (most while Tiger Management was around or shortly after it closed) and the second generation that were seeded by Julian and most of which reside in 101 Park.
@14 is stupid, @20 is smart. viking always has, and always will be, considered a Tiger Cub.
@14 – read the first sentence.

@18/14- viking is one of the original tiger cubs. you are an actual retard.
@14- no. “Hedge-fund managers known as the Tiger Cubs *because they learned to pick stocks at Julian Robertson’s Tiger Management LLC* beat their peers in 2007 by profiting from the most volatile equity markets in five years.”
it doesn’t have to be seed money. you are an idiot.
Let’s argue about more inane things.
@25- the argument is only inane b/c 18/14 is refusing to believe the published fact that viking is a tiger cub.
none of you will ever do anything successful. i am successful. i drive a bmw.
Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
no Donny these men are cowards.
@12 doesn’t lose money, he prints it!!!
a tiger cub is a baby tiger
a tiger cub is a baby tiger, a viking is a norseman with a scary horn hat
and a maverick is a lost cow

@35- it’s retard. there is one guy (18/14/9) insisting the patently false, against all odds.

also, julian is quoted as saying the three most exemplary tiger alums are griffin, halvorsen and mandel.
ysc.
@22- I cants reads well.
@40- I thought it was a 32K shitter.
@35- Do I need to say it?
SPODE
How do they stamp large tigers?
Serious question. Has Maverick ever had good performance? The numbers I have seen are not super human.
