hedge fund manager

And he hedged his bets how? They've destroyed the meaning of that term. He should be called what he is: a leveraged fund crapshooter.

How about a coffee on the keyboard alert?

When I was in the business, hedge fund meant short and long postions to minimize risk.

It devolved into “how much money can i borrow to buy credit swaps”

Hey, I’m making money, I’m a genius!! Whoops, I’m broke, who could have foreseen an economy based selling houses to people with poor credit, no verifiable income and no assets to fail?
