“I don't think you have a background in finance", don’t worry about it, I’ll take it as a compliment.
* Please do pay for the advice of experts and consultants. I'm sure there's a couple of useful ones amongst the subgroup who don’t speak in riddles and who put their own money where their mouth is.
* Please do engage in hedging and diversification to manage risk. Can’t spend enough on safety! I mean, what else can you do if you’re not sufficiently convinced that some company is super cheap vs earnings?
* Please do spend lots of time and money dwelling on volatility. Hey maybe it will reduce your risk!
* Oooh the “mark at the poker table” thing. Very hedge fundy.
Truth is, I constantly feel like the mark. Like everybody is out to get me. I've considered legally changing my name to Mark but I'm Dutch so it doesn't make much sense.
I feel like a mark with most management teams whose companies I’m looking at. I feel like a mark when people try to overcharge me on the market. I especially feel like a mark when financial services people offer me better research and better trading tools. Since ~2003 I’ve been afraid the entire planet has become a mark for finance.
The good thing is, when I feel like a mark, I don't act. I've never felt like a mark more often than today.
Anyways, if you think we're sitting on the same table, come and get my money. I from my side think you're just 20 years late to your table.
Good luck hedging dude! Being a self admitted gambler, you’ll need it.

You last response made no sense.
Your points regarding what hedge funds should do or not are simply wrong.
I don't invest, I leave that to professionals.
Also - you might want to take a course in investing finance. You'll find it very interesting.
Ok so when giving people advice and talking about courses and backgrounds, at least you have experience with investing or trading in the past?
Or just the courses?
