Date: January 21st, 2015 3:10 PM Author: olive indian lodge brethren The guy gambled and lost. That's why people invest in hedge funds. It's right there in the disclosure that you could lose all of your money. If you're not happy w/ dem 6% returns on your mutual funds and ETFs, you run the risk of this.

Date: January 21st, 2015 3:30 PM Author: olive indian lodge brethren This is what I don't get, this should be a fucking celebration of the current system. It shows why hedge funds are only for accredited investors and people who can handle a major loss like this. But instead we get the fucking JOBS Act trying to let everyone in because "that's not fair!!"
Investing is gambling. You want a chance for big gains, you get a chance for it. We can't guarantee everyone will succeed in the market. |

This guy obviously invested in something extremely risky with a very small upside. |

|

HTH
It's pretty obvious that the risk this guy took on was not justified by the potential return.
The only way you lose this much money in such a small amount of time is by betting 100% of your capital on a single investment, which basically violates every fucking rule of responsible investing. |

Date: January 21st, 2015 3:50 PM Author: Chest-beating bateful home queen of the night it's not pretty obvious, dipshit a single investment increases risk, it doesn't reflect on upside if it tanks or on downside if it quadruples. btw, you are a moron for thinking it does. |
