Hedge Fund Redemptions May Crash Q1 Markets

I think your off by thousands for gold prices and for the S&P. I have spoken with attorney colleagues recently in the Caymans and the BVI. Apparently, a very large percentage of funds have already suspended redemptions. In addition, there are a sizeable number of new hedge funds (yes, new) coming online after January 1. Add to that some facts mentioned above, like "notice provisions" and gates, and there will not be an avalanche caused by hedge fund redemptions in the 1st quarter. Although, I do agree there will be a material affect caused by redemptions.
