I wish I had time to watch this whole 20 minute+ video, the first few minutes looked cool, but seriously with my college tour int he works (contact me HERE if you’re game to have me speak at your school late 09/early 010), finalizing the whole TIMfundamentals shipping this coming week and a ton of other stuff, I just don’t have time.

Please watch it for me, let me know how it is and write down some notes below…I’d really appreciate it, thanks!

  • Thanks for sharing, Tim, it's interesting.

    There have been a slew of articles on Top Hedge Fund Managers' earnings, but so much their fund performance, accompanied by videos on major channels.

    I argue that the models in Finance and Economy were wrong as were the people using them, suggesting new models should be explored. You're mentioned in it alongside Soros, Buffett and Armstrong:

    Contrary to what this video suggests the Bear puts at a 30 strike price would have been readily available and made a nice exploding gamma trade.

    If I had a nonfailing, non-insolvent business, i'd love for naked shorters to get involved. I'd be happily buying shares from them at $.21.

    I believe part of the problem why their stock price caused their downfall is because of their debt that are collateralized to their stock price. A condition if you will. If it drops to a certain point, then Lehman Bros are forced to pony up cash to repay their debt.

    Given enough power, as the video shows, it can take on almost any company. Good or bad. Scary stuff.

    Tim, the video asks you to get in contact with Michael Moore in the end. You should look into it. The video is basically about 5-6 Short-Selling hedge fund managers (your expertise) killing great big companies. Thing is, I wonder how many more companies they killed.
