Hedge Funds Changing Investment Tack

Don't know who you are out there,but the markets will blow your boat into stratosphere with your frog brain.
99.99% of hedge funds lose money,why Hennessy,Hedge Fund Research,Tremont Advisers databases looks good,it is because from 1000 hedge funds 500 lost 99.99% in one month and another 500 funds made more that 90-110%.
That's why it looks always that hedge funds are low risk/high return vehicles but this is lie that nobody will tell you as all who cover hedge funds make bread and butter selling it to you.
Hedge funds that were wiped out,the one QVT Financial LP I know very good,just went broke in New York and is liquidating it's trading OTC book,after bleeding to death they tend to change team here and there,change the name of the fund and go hunting for clients again.
Most often they buy the same their hedge fund that went broke,with different ownership so they have tax incentive.
NEVER INVEST IN HEDGE FUNDS,to explain simply what they do,so all can understand would look like this:
50% of capital they buy Crude Oil Decebmer 2008 call option 160$,other 50% of capital they buy Crude Oil December 2008 put 60$.
If you think this is appropriate risk,go invest or listen to what they do,and you will lose everything.
