Funny how a news piece on hedge funds can rank in the top 4 search results on Youtube.com years later...some of this information is a bit outdated.

Why were pension funds allowed to "invest" in a Hedge fund. Hedge funds are nothing more that gambling?

[brokeinvestor]

omfg, hedge funds dont need more regulation, all that is needed is investors who actually understand the risks that are associated with hedge funds.

[videoburns1]

Right .. like pros at Lehman understood the risks they were taking,,, or the pros at Bear Stearns or the pros at CitiBank or Bank America.... Thereis no credible arguement against regulation and transparency in financial industry - omfg indeed  tell me exactly who understood the risks in the credit default swaps ... the big problem is that they did understand and that they understood that the risks weren't their risks... the risk was ours! And now we are paying.

[PrivateWarrior1]

@videoburns1 LehmanBros, CitiBANK and its BANKS, BANK of America etc... are NOT Hedge Funds. They are Banks. Hence the need to regulate them because they use regular people's money. The banking industry should be treated like the utilities industries. Hell maybe even nationalized. But stay out of the investments industry. Blame the pension funds managers, not the hedge funds. What happened to risk in Capitalism?????

[Kellysayshello]

Actually brokeinvestor, hedge funds should NOT be regulated more ! Instead, the PENSION FUNDS should be regulated more and forbidden to invest in high risk/high return assets like hedge funds. Pension funds had no business investing in hedge funds. These funds are designed for wealthy "accredited investors"...people who can afford to take big gambles. Sophisticated private investors should be allowed to invest in hedge funds without lots of beauracratic red tape and excessive regulations.

@brokeinvestor tell it to the sheeple

Next time you could have a crisis of confidence if someone fails to pay someone else.

Yeah, next time like all of 2008. Hah! We didn't even have to wait long.

Under every hedge, Strategicaly Hyped Investment Tranches can be found ,everybody loses everything at the same time so no panic, as the market disapears before any opportunity

for panic arises

empty suits, Taleb describes. do ppl think they are smart as they really think ? i think not, history has shown over and over, humans are not intelligent.

[TYX91101]

Amaranth - "immortal". Look up "Cerberus". Financial Engineers? Try psychology. Diversification? For people who really don't know what they're doing.

[volgaone]

wsnobody is one of those traders who have been doing a character assassination on nassim because they are unhappy with his message. taleb owns a piece of a big fund.

[wsnobody]

Taleb doesn't own a real hedge fund. His hedge fund never attacted any real money and is now defunct.
