A Simple, Powerful Strategy To Beat The Hedge Funds At Their Own Game

I’ve been telling you for weeks that hedge funds have been bleeding cash – not just during 2016, but for the past 10 years or more.

And in our in-depth analysis of hedge fund performance – what historically made them extraordinary, and moreover, what they’re doing lately that’s undermining performance – yields an easy-to-follow roadmap leading to both investing and trading success.

That’s because these days, with markets being manipulated, being gamed, and being chased by too many hedge funds (and too many mutual funds) employing too many of the same strategies and getting into too many of the same stocks and getting out too late, means generating big returns requires a hybrid investing and trading strategy.

Employing both short-term trading and long-term investing strategies that incorporate what’s worked and what hasn’t worked, is the best way to make tons of money today.

But the news is better for some investors than others.

The truth is, today it’s easier for individual investors to make money running their own personal hedge funds than it is for the big boys to swing for the fences.

That’s because nimble investors who know what big hedge funds and sloth-like mutual funds are doing right (and wrong) can actually mimic, “fade,” and front-run funds into and out of positions.

It’s not hard, it just takes a little work.

Here’s why and how you should sometimes mimic, sometimes fade, which is a Wall Street insider term for “do the opposite” and always front-run funds in and out of trades.

It’s entertaining and enlightening work.

Making money has always been a passion of mine. Even though I retired from the hedge fund business, (frankly, because it’s a 24/7 job and because I don’t have to work anymore and like sharing my days with family and friends), I still exercise my passion every day for the business.

I read a lot. I follow what my hedge fund friends are doing. I talk to a lot of big investors.

That’s the kind of work I’m talking about. That’s how you research the trades you’re going to make in your own personal hedge fund.
