Hedge Fund Managers Launching New "Hyperinflation" Funds

[timetraveler2006]

Nassim Taleb not a great trader? He is exactly the kind of FOOL Taleb speaks of in his books. Mind you Taleb calls himself a fool too- albeit one who understand he is a fool, unlike this joker.

Taleb advises a 3 billion dollar hedge fund... and this guy? spams people with claims of great returns... that says it all...

:45 "Paulson, great trader" wow, what a fucking idiot, Paulson's fund was down 52% in 2011.

[p0intblanksnipe]

Nothing this man says matters. He is talking in theoretical money, all stock market trades, all bank loans, and reserve notes are theoretical monetary transactions taking place over a computer. If you want to find the problem behind inflation look no further than capitalism, every dollar in your pocket is another dollar of debt. We must look behind the stock markets cryptic double talk to understand that the american monetary system is nothing more than one big scam

[BertGraef]

How much money do these morons need?

[Gudenfast]

@bearstearn3 Why?

[Scapone2001]

taleb was a trader for 21 years for some investment bank, its not like they would employ an idiot for 20 years, he must have done something right. Najarian and his brother and propogandists for CNBC and dont want to scare thier viewers into thinking thier is inflation ahead. Pony tails are only for women Najarian!

[MrFrankBullitt]

I don't trust guys with ponytails.

[dave997]

that's a rat tail

[investornator]

thats a rat...PERIOD

[buffettlampert]

Universa which is run by Mark Spitznagel, a student of Nassim Taleb was up 100% just in October 2008 while everyone else were getting thumped at the time. Nassim Taleb is an adivsor to these funds.

[MarcusCMarcellus]

No more than 10% bet on inflation? Just look at this man w/his pussy on the face - he's an illiterate barbarian. It is not just Taleb: Faber and Rogers, who are good "traders" - as is Taleb, btw, and even the culprit himself, Greenspan, realize what is happening - competitive devaluation of the major currencies. Anyone who gets financial advice from these TV shows is doomed.

[30percentplusreturns]

Hes right about Taleb. The guy isnt a trader. People like taleb cant make a dime in market. they may be right about everything, but they cant manage money for the life of them and extract money consistently from markets. When there is all doom and gloom, thats usually when markets rally. Most people are suckers.

[sarjil]

he used to be an options trader. and made his name first there.

[Gudenfast]

Taleb spent something like 8 years trading . . . he was one of the first to develop derivatives . . . his background is financial mathematics.

These guys know nothing of Taleb - in fact Najarian gets it backwards. Taleb refuses to predict much in public - in fact that is Taleb's whole point in Black Swan, that we are incredibly bad at making predictions about complex systems.
