Hedge fund heads to Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF)
2008-07-08 05:00:00 "As steel prices continue to climb, one company that is set to profit handsomely is Cleveland-Cliffs (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=clf) (NYSE: CLF (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=clf))," says trading and investing expert Bill Martin (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2165).Add-ing to the stock's speculative appeal, the editor of BullMarket.com (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2165) explains, "Event-driven hedge fund Harbinger Capital has been an aggressive buyer of the stock." Here's his review of the situation. "The Cleveland, Ohio-based company is the largest producer of iron ore pellets in North America and a major supplier of metallurgical coal to the global steel-making industry. "It benchmarks iron ore prices to the price of steel, so when steel prices rise, so do iron ore prices. The company said all of its North American iron ore mines are producing at or near capacity."The shares have been on fire,...
It was all fun and games when the unregulated hot money hedge fund speculat
2008-05-31 06:55:00 When you step back and take a look, all these bubbles were really just low-interest-rate-enabled hot-money speculative hedge-fund driven attacks.First they went after the dot-com stocks. That was pretty fun.Then they moved on to real estate and houses. You know how that turned out.Then they moved onto gold, silver and the metals, and artwork and Euros too. And oh, that was quite the party.After that, it was food - corn, wheat, soybeans, rice, etc. Which of course is leading to starvation and death and soaring food prices.And then finally, they went after the oil. Black gold. Which of course is disrupting commerce worldwide and putting an "oil tax" on billions around the globe.So what's next? Is there ANYTHING that hasn't been attacked yet by these locusts? Is there ANYTHING still in their way?Maybe baseball cards? Cocoa Puffs? Zebras? Electricity?

Credit Crunch Hurts Hedge-Fund Stars

His Appaloosa Investment and Palomino funds gave up most of that ground in January and February, as declining prices for mortgage-backed bonds and other debt investments caused broad credit-market seizures....Some hedge-fund managers who have fared better this year are saying the wild ride in the markets isn't over. "As we enter the second quarter, the volatility seen in past months does not appear to be in the process of disappearing soon," wrote Philip Falcone, a former head of high-yield trading at Barclays Capital who runs $19 billion hedge-fund firm Harbinger Capital Partners, in a quarter-end letter to his investors.

using hedge fund investments as your financial tool Posted By : Jay Anderso
2008-02-29 10:36:00 When it comes to what hedge fund means, it can be quite difficult to explain exactly what it is. Certainly, in many cases you will find that no hedging techniques have been used. Instead, what you will find is that the various different hedge funds now available will use a variety of different strategies in order to make a profit for those who invest in them. A recent study by United College Marketing Services has shown that student credit lines have increased to over $6,000. Credit card usage has tripled since 2001 amongst teenagers as well. Since eighteen year-olds in many countries and most U.S. states are eligible for a card without parental consent or employment, the likelihood of increased balances, unwise use of credit and damaged credit scores increases.

Top hedge fund manager sets up Singapore office
2008-01-25 01:17:00 Top hedge fund manager sets up Singapore office Outlook for Asia still bright despite US woes: research head By GENEVIEVE CUA (SINGAPORE) The US is in recession and equity markets are in bear territory, said Thomas Della Casa, head of research at Man Investments, one of the world’s largest hedge fund managers, yesterday. ‘We’re in a tough market. Equity markets are trying to find a bottom and eventually won’t. People might lose more money than they thought. It’s a good opportunity for us,’ he said. Rising volatility and the prospect of muted or negative returns are likely to put hedge funds back on investors’ radar screens. This is because a number of hedge fund strategies strive for low volatility and stable returns, which tend to underperform in bull markets. ‘In 2008, we expect that equity investors will have a tough time; bond investors will also have a tough time. Getting a return of 10 per cent or close to it is not a bad proposi...
