I think any Investment is always a risk,
and it shouldn’t matter weither it’s considered high risk or lower risk.

It shouldn’t make you take your guard down on exactly where your putting your money.
I mean if you aren’t doing the same level of research or
checking over the numbers it leads to over confidence, which is always
bad for any investment.

Just my 2pennies anyway

Mr. Cuban:

You should launch a e-hedge fund site. You can have a 5 year look-up and allow members to make deposits via paypal. It’s just a thought. I bet you could raise a lot of money and invest in undervalued companies. I wonder how much money you could raise?

I would be willing to contribute $x,xxx a month. I wonder who else would be willing to follow your proven track record?

Would you agree that with the massive stock sales resulting from large-scale redemptions of hedge funds, that the funds are bailing out of stocks that they fundamentally believe should outperform? The fact that investors are bailing shouldn’t affect whether or not the investments are worthwhile. If the hedgies are the smartest guys in the room, and are being forced to blow out of positions they believe in, doesn’t it stand to reason that (for once) the opportunity is there for non-hedge fund investors to go long the same stocks at cut rate prices? The hedgies are having a liquidity crisis that’s forcing sales. I think if we find those stocks that the squeezed hedgies are bailing on, there should be some w/ huge upside.

Does this mean that you suffered a significant loss because of a ‘public’ hedge fund investment? I would have thought that your shorting strategy would have made you a bundle on these stocks. Adding a ‘Categories’ section under the ‘Recent Comments’ section in your sidebar would help us readers who look for finance-related posts. The search box pulls up posts that are too general in context.

Enron aside, Publicly held utilities are a safe bet.

Take our Sierra Pacific or NV Energy… They raised rates to cover rising energy costs. And then made $0.90 per share last qtr.

They litterally have the best of both worlds. Zero competition, serfdom customer base a 3 person panel of regulators that have ALWAYS sided with the shareholders and not the consumer.

Plus 2 laws garunteeing profits. 1. They are allowed a 19MMillion proft by law and 2. Their rates have to be approved if they cover costs. It’s a no lose situation as long as they aren’t performing creative accounting.
