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

  • 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.

  • @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?????

  • @brokeinvestor tell it to the sheeple

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on hedge funds can rank in the top 4 search results on Youtube.com years later...some of this information is a bit outdated.

  • that greaseball paul solman

  • @HeartAttackMan74

    To whom are you referring? Regardless, what a nasty thing to say.

  • 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.

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