Bearish Bullman
Stocks may have enjoyed a huge rebound this year (the S&P 500 is up 50 pct from its March low), but the rally is based on speculation, according to one hedge fund firm.
Bullman Investment Management, which runs a global macro fund, has just put on short positions on the S&P and the financials sector via ETFs, manager Nick Bullman told me.
A change of Mood
Rating agency Moody’s has updated its hedge fund ratings process in the wake of the Madoff fraud and the collapse of Lehman Brothers.
The firm, which rates hedge funds on their operational risks, is putting more emphasis on certain aspects which it thinks could be key to investors.
