Nasty.

The YTD sounds more like "Viking Global T-Bills" (took the year off but still charged the 2% management fee.)

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.

#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.

@11, @13. sorry. A cub is a fund seeded by Robertson. Viking does not, never has, and never will have any Robertson capital.
Posted by guest , Jan 06, 2009 3:52PM
@14- you are an absolute moron.
Posted by guest , Jan 06, 2009 3:54PM
careful there 15 - I think he's correct.
Posted by guest , Jan 06, 2009 3:57PM
@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.
Posted by guest , Jan 06, 2009 4:04PM
@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.
Posted by guest , Jan 06, 2009 4:06PM
@14 is stupid, @20 is smart. viking always has, and always will be, considered a Tiger Cub.
Posted by guest , Jan 06, 2009 4:06PM
@14 - read the first sentence.

@18/14- viking is one of the original tiger cubs. you are an actual retard.
Posted by guest , Jan 06, 2009 4:09PM
@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.
Posted by guest , Jan 06, 2009 4:28PM
Let's argue about more inane things.
Posted by guest , Jan 06, 2009 4:30PM
@25- the argument is only inane b/c 18/14 is refusing to believe the published fact that viking is a tiger cub.

a tiger cub is a baby tiger, a viking is a norseman with a scary horn hat

How do they stamp large tigers?

Serious question. Has Maverick ever had good performance? The numbers I have seen are not super human.
