Hedge funds

[haywood jablome]

Are these a total crock of shit? These funds have billions of dollars at their use to basically manipulate markets for their own benefit. Especially when they decide to work together to short certain things like currencies which are now traded like stocks.... It makes me wonder how legitimate and 'fair' these funds are when their operators are making billions of dollars in profits, from what exactly, it all seems like a magical fairy world of trading things that don't actually exist, derivatives are one big problem.... They have too much power for their own good. Anyone have any other thoughts on this? I don't believe i know a lot, but these funds just don't make sense to me. If they do from a market perspective then I am sure there is a lot of funny business going on in the background.

I'm not an even close to an expert on this but I'm pretty sure that it's illegal to manipulate a market.

Exactly, that is why it doesn't surprise me to see so many reports of funds being investigated for that reason. No doubt it happens, it's just a matter of who is being paid by who to be quiet and cover it up.

Jesus H. Christ.

That's a cool video but really annoying too.

I guess it just adds power to technical analysis rather than fundamental.
