Cash is King?

What we have here is another person that is ignorant of the hedge fund industry...while I understand the challenges of public investing, to assume that all hedge funds are derivatives casinos is just plain stupid. head for the hills and put your money under the mattress, I will be by to pick it up soon.

Money Markets

Quite simply, Cash Is King! It will be many a year before equities are a trusted place to put any form of nest egg after the lunacies of Pirate Ship Wall St. have been exposed.

Personally, Iam amazed that any sober minded person would ever again have a molecule of trust in any form of hedge fund, derivatives casino operation after 2007 and 2008.

Heading for the hills sounds a good journey to be on right now!
