Third place in profits?!? Looks like we need to raise our fees to 5 / 80%

I think you guys forgot someone….

I am going to cry now.
Good to see Discus got out of the Dealbreaker comments board management business and into the asset management business
I am not sure about the marks on those equity positions that aren't publicly listed. As the article suggests, that gets a little to PE hybridish.
Who has some better expertise on this they could share ?
It's also worth pointing out that while the performance for the year speaks for itself, there is no profit for Citadel, nor has there been for three years now, as they are still below their HWM.
Did this take into account the HWM on some?
Well now all of a sudden I don't feel so cocky about coming in third in my fantasy league.
I wish I had invested with these guys instead of Tilson.
We weren't wrong on being profitable, we were just early and did it before 2011.
Chase Coleman molested me in the back of a van in a Walmart parking lot in Sheboygan.
Honorable Mention: Incarceratus Partners, B. Madoff – +1,200%. Location based arbitrageur of cigarettes, porn and burner phones. AUM $275.35
I just throw a couple bills and she’ll have a pair a HEELS
I don't see the Sykes Capital Management Penny Stock Opportunities Master Fund on this list.
WTF?
3 of the top 20 funds, huh? How do you like that, whiny Dartmouth newspaper people? We are HYENAS over here.
You better believe that black-box algorithm is being kept under lock and key…
*Beeeeep*

Rebellion Research = null

A burner cell in the pen is worth $500. HTH
I thought he got brought on as a PM by Paulson.
Getting drunk again………three days in the pen.
Tiger Global, YTD total return: 45% (assets, in billions: 6.0)
Fund, Manager(s) Management Firm, Location, 2011 total return profit, in millions
6 Tiger Global, Chase Coleman, Feroz Dewan Tiger Global Management, U.S. 437.2
What am I missing?
How is $400 million 45% of 6 billion?
This list is incorrect. Rebellion Capital isn't listed.
You are missing the Incentive fee %
The PE-ish type investments are all social media stocks (hence the up 45% in 2011) and prior to the Linkedin IPO represented less than 10% of the fund. These stocks do trade by appointment on priviate exchanges. Most social media positions were purchased in 2009. The Goldman Sach valuation quote at the end of 2010 didn't hurt either.
Tiger requested that Clients take money out of the fund @12/31 and depending on the level of redeemptions they may return capital in 2012. Targeting $4B.
I'm up 50% in dildos.
Why am I not on the list? I'll sue you.

Interestingly, not shown on the list above at #22 is the IntenseDebate Enhanced Global Opportunities Fund.
In related news, the Harbinger Capital Prison Macro fund will be paying redemptions in illiquid packages of mackerel.
Or in a hollowed out book or bar of soap.
Give me a break!

You are the man Ray, no question. Loved the new yorker piece, I too got whacked for provoking a fight with the director of the Chicago office in my case. Corpulent little illiterate that he was.
You mean the dildo is 50% up you Jeff
ZH already answered this question… http://www.zerohedge.com/news/presenting-worlds-m…
ya, and we all know it was really 5th too…
so
This links to the tiger disclosures in novy.
Looks very much like a straightforward long tech play, and surprisingly concentrated, so the alpha was presumably form the private social network stakes. But boy I would like to see a clean, "out" on that stuff before paying 20 on it if in the know below is correct..
Not sure how you windown or redeem that much stock on any secondary market I'm aware of, though I guess many of these are now listed and the specs and mo players are in them every day big looks like from volume.

Dude, never again cite Business "Insider" as a source that has a f'king clue about anything re: Wall Street.
Our Inverse Advantage Plus Fund was up 52%. Tell your friends, please
J. Paulson
Dan, is that you?
Its just the 10Q, presumably legit
Hedge funds performed terribly last year. I don't think they are "hedged" at all. How are they different from mutual funds (other than charging an arm and a leg for their services)?
salutations from over the ocean. precise article I must return for more.

These items were sometimes used in a metric of perceived value in conjunction to one another, in various commodity valuation or Price System economies.
State and local governments have two other groups of self-balancing accounts which are not considered funds: general fixed assets and general long-term debts. These assets and liabilities belong to the government entity as a whole, rather than any specific fund.
