The Hedge Fund Hegemon

They started clipping the hedge.

Going down to the hedge.

In those days nobody had bank accounts, or American Express cards, or hedge funds.

Though I did have to hide behind a hedge when I saw the vicar passing.

So pressure outside the US and Britain to put the hedge fund industry on a tighter regulatory leash is hardly surprising. The Germans, for example, want to reduce risk by forcing hedge funds to adhere to stricter reporting requirements.

Hedge funds constitute only a small percentage of overall world financial markets, which, according to a recent study by the McKinnsey Global Institute, now exceed 120 trillion.

That is a surprising proposition, given that commodity bonds have an obvious latent market, rooted in real economic fundamentals. After all, steel companies have an inherent need to hedge against fluctuations in the price of iron ore, just as airlines and utilities have an inherent need to hedge against fluctuations in the price of oil.

You go to the future back, back, back, back, like that.

Therefore behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can't find her way.

Get back! Get back!

Get back there! Get back!
