how do you get into hedge funds what are they and how do they work?

Answer 1

My understanding is you have to have a lot of money first of all. I think one was 500k. They work by hedging their losses with shorts and option calls. They are usually quite effective. Apparently not for the poor, but they influence the market dearly. Some say that if you track the investments of the hedge funds, and do what they do, you can also partake when they move their funds out of the market. It is a matter of leveraging large sums in and out of stocks that builds their power. Kinda not fair, but can cause market ripples that a minor investor can take advantage of if you figure out how to do it. Get your surfboard ready!

Answer 2

1) You need at least $10,000,000.00 USD
2) Exactly like Mutual Funds but they can sell short stocks too.
3) They charge you with 2% of your money every year plus 20% of your profits. Some charge up to 50% of the profits.
