PTJ is a friend. No, HFs returns are diminishing on the midst of diversification and people getting too "creative" refer to Paulson after he made a killing on the CDS of the Subprime market. As long as Investment Management companies focus on what ...

Yes... I am very close to people who has worked with him. His full story was that he started at Goldman when Goldman was still very nimble. He was then left to join JPM to trade chemical stocks. He was only a Vice President/executive director. Then ...

Even at Anton's 5 times, he would've been wiped out by the SNB. Ha not so accurate anymore huh

Whatever this guy is saying is absolutely bollocks, he really has NO idea about the industry and the reality of retail trading, hence this is why I doubt if he actually investments his own money. Making $100,000 doesn't give one any choices, anyone ...

Well FIXI is not a PB, it's a PoP but in this case, it'll be the bank, or, someone who they've matched you up with on Currenex or etc. Usually it's a match up at this size
