Hedge Funds Are Getting Their Butts Kicked Too

It's curious that your definition of "butts kicked" includes only ONE - out of eleven negative performances - that is below the broader market index.

"The average hedge fund is -3.43% ytd compared to -12.65% in the S&P500 ..."

Sounds to me like the average hedge fund was a better buy than the S&P 500.

"... and +1.05% in the Lehman Bros Bond Index."

Do you think bonds have much upside from here, compared to the average hedge fund?

I think either your perspective is so skewed as to be functionally useless, or you're writing about "hedge funds getting their butt kicked" out of sheer sensationalism - which makes your writing functionally useless.
