According to Investopedia, What Does Hedge Fund Mean? is defined as, An aggressively managed portfolio of investments that uses advanced investment strategies such as leveraged, long, short and derivative positions in both domestic and international markets with the goal of generating high returns (either in an absolute sense or over a specified market benchmark). Hedge funds use dozens of different strategies, so it isn't accurate to say that hedge funds just "hedge risk". In fact, because hedge fund managers make speculative investments, these funds can carry more risk than the overall market. » * Apr 25 17:17 Criticizing China for exporting inflation unjustifiable By: Ethan Allen and... Tags: * CHINA * CURRENT EVENTS * ECONOMY Statistics recently released by the National Bureau of Statistics show that China's CPI was up 5 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier. This figure has drawn wide attention at home and abroad. Some Western media agencies have even criticized China for transferring inflationary pressure to the West and imposing greater economic pressure on the West. In response, Zhu Hongren, head engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said during a press conference on April 20 that the fact is that the rise in international commodity prices has affected China, posing a severe challenge on the stability of China's CPI. He said frankly that criticisms claiming China is exporting inflation to the West are simply unjustifiable.

Apr 25 15:26 Vatican kicks out Roma on Easter Tags: * CURRENT EVENTS Vatican police have clashed with Roma gypsies who took refuge at one of Rome's ancient churches after their camps were dismantled. About 150 Roma gypsies were barred from participating in the Easter vigil of the basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls on Sunday, after temporarily taking shelter there on Good Friday, The Telegraph reported. Local and foreign pilgrims, who had gathered to attend the vigil, called “shame” on the police. Webmaster's Commentary: Ironically, the Roma people are among the the most discriminated-against people in Europe, and one of the most devoutly Roman Catholic. With all the wealth in its coffers, the Vatican could have taken another tack with these people that would have been far more humanitarian and demonstrative that they really believe the statements of Jesus regarding being loving and charitable. Apparently, however, some in the Vatican police didn't get the memo. » * 1 comment * Permalink^ Apr 25 15:16 China disapproves of taking any actions that exceed the mandate of the Security Council: Chinese Official.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told reporters Beijing was unhappy with Britain’s announcement over sending military advisors to help the opposition side fight Ghaddafi forces. ‘China believes that the United Nations Security Council has primary responsibility for protecting international peace and security, and the various sides should strictly abide by the Security Council mandate in handling matters,’ Reuters reported Hong Lei as saying. Webmaster's Commentary: China is entirely correct on this issue, and has every reason to be ticked off, because they lost billions of dollars when the unrest started, and they had to bring their workers back home.

The matter was still not decided, they insisted. Some of the largest publicly traded college corporations receive nearly 90 percent of their revenues from federal student aid programs. While government money fuels increased enrollments and record profits, the industry has poured increasing amounts of those proceeds into an unprecedented effort to preempt the rules through greater influence in Washington. Webmaster's Commentary: Let me get my head around this: private, for-profit schools get 90% of their funding from the Federal Government, while state colleges are limiting programs, cutting teachers' benefits and pay, and raising tuition fees?

The new document (PDF) would require that certain applicants submit a list of every residence and every job they've ever had since birth. In February, the department published a request in the Federal Register allowing 60 days for comment before the new rules go into effect. "The Biographical Questionnaire for a U.S. Passport, form DS-5513, is used to supplement an application for a U.S. passport when the applicant submits citizenship or identity evidence that is insufficient or of questionable authenticity," according to a supporting statement (PDF) issued along with the request for comment. Webmaster's Commentary: This is not about "security"; it is to keep people from traveling, period, end of discussion.

Instead, China has decided to serve the world another surprise. Following last week's announcement by PBoC Governor Zhou (Where's Waldo) Xiaochuan that the country's excessive stockpile of USD reserves has to be urgently diversified, today we get a sense of just how big the upcoming Chinese defection from the "buy US debt" Nash equilibrium will be. Not surprisingly, China appears to be getting ready to cut its USD reserves by roughly the amount of dollars that was recently printed by the Fed, or $2 trilion or so.

The guard replied with’ OK, but you better not let me catch you praying!” That was what it was like in Jerusalem this Easter.

In Utah, many parents choose home school to spend more time with their child while others said large classroom sizes have made home schooling more appealing. And as more people choose home schooling, it is becoming more acceptable and popular for others to follow suit. » * 1 comment Apr 25 08:47 FLASHBACK - Gen.

Unfortunately, banks are driven solely by the profit motive.

Astrolabes helped figure out the position of the sun and the stars in the sky. Astrolabes were not complicated devices. However, the machine of Antikythera was complex and, eventually, Greek archaeologists renamed it the Antikythera Mechanism and dated it from 150 to 100 BCE. » * 1 comment Apr 24 10:49 TSA: An Army of Pervs and Criminals By: uppity serf Tags: * CURRENT EVENTS It does take a certain kind of individual to perform non-stop pat-downs that are nearly indistinguishable from sexual molestation.

To satisfy the legal system’s pesky demand for environmental impact studies of novel GMO crops, the USDA has settled upon a brilliant solution: let the GMO industry conduct its own environmental impact studies, or pay other researchers to. » * 3 comments * Permalink^ Apr 24 10:27 New concerns over swine flu jab after children given it 'hit by sudden sleep syndrome' By: malterwitty Tags: * SCIENCE/HEALTH/CLIMATE/NATURE Caroline Hadfield, of Frome, Somerset, believes her five-year-old son Joshua contracted narcolepsy after being vaccinated with Pandemrix last January.

Mrs Hadfield, 40, said: ‘I believe this link will eventually be confirmed.

"This was a disaster waiting to happen," he concludes. And the lesson? Replacing Tepco's management won't solve anything, he says, because the logic of Japan's energy policies is that nuclear power generation is absolutely necessary. "So nuclear power must be seen as absolutely safe." Ordinary people must "take democracy into their own hands", he added. "If they do not, in 10 years time we will see another disaster. It's almost as though we are in a fascist country where information is hidden from the public. This is time for Japan to wake up and see what the situation is." » * 1 comment * Apr 24 09:27 The Clueless & Gullible: Mother Jones Reporter Gets A Major Fisking About Her Erroneous ClimateGate Article Tags: * CLIMATEGATE "As a result, while her take on events is biased – not surprising given the publication – it bears enough resemblance to reality that it’s interesting to observe her blind spots – the things that she doesn’t notice illuminate that bias.....she uncritically accepts self-serving Team assertions as authoritative.

TSA’s snoozing SPOT-ters catch nobody — for fear of being accused by the grievance lobby of singling anybody out.

There were people willing to take me to meet him and one recently, I should have gone but I didn’t. I was told I would be taken right to him because I am tall and from the west; whatever that means.
