Welcome to my first blog on Hedge Fund 2.0. This is my first blog and the goal of this blog is to educate and entertain investors that prefer to invest in Hedge Funds or other types of high risk investments, and to indirectly promote my start-up family of hedge funds that I started three years ago; the UCS Funds, a series of funds that target specific industries and companies, commodity like investments for high returns with the benefits of tax credits.
Secondly, I will be posting and discussing different types of investments in the form of emails, pictures, links, and interviews which will support why I believe that they may be good investments over the long term. Please contact your financial advisor if you need financial advice. Ok then, let’s "get going already"! As always I will try to keep it simple and always entertaining!
I recently reviewed the, “The 400 Richest Americans”, a list printed by Forbes each year. I was surprised to see that thirteen Hedge fund owner/managers made the list. I wonder how many of them were on the list the previous year. Investing is real risky as it is but investing in hedge funds is like doing illegal drugs with the same consequences as if you are taking prescription drugs without a doctors prescription; a prime example of the risk is, Long Term Capital Management one of the first hedge funds to experience a meltdown and recently Amaranth, which had $9.2 billion in assets at the end of August, but lost roughly $6 billion last month after big natural gas trades went the wrong way. Wow, six (6) billion!
My thoughts: I think the energy markets are in a consolidation phase. I believe that the current gasoline and crude oil supply stocks are adequate for now but the market is still in some type of flux, an investor can still make money by selecting and holding quality asset plays going forward.
Our next posts will be links from around the web on what other analysts, researchers, and officials are projecting and saying about the energy markets.
