How the hell are the indexes up today when it seems like every sector is down....
Eclectica (+.02% YTD), ouch Hugh.
Negative, inflation adjusted.
Quantitative Easing continues to show benefits in market confidence and price stability.
Sooo, I guess adding "Plus" to the "Paulson Advantage" was a ruse?
YOu must be new to ZH.
Its known as Paulson Disadvantage Minus around here
I'll bet that the share holders in Paulson's advantage plus enjoy paying extra to get screwed even more. What's the adavantage? Do you get vaseline versus dry with getting screwed?
But of course, doesn't every good cat house have a "Plus" plan? No happy ending in the Paulson Plus though
Today, with little volume and with no bond market in the US restricing its moves, the equity market is clearly just treading water.

Curious that a man paid $100 million in 2008 and launching a multi-billion dollar hedge fund a couple of years later is nowhere mentioned in the top performers nor in the bottom performers. Perhaps I have missed something . What is Astenbeck's performance to date? Average? Should it turn out that their performance IS just average , does anyone have a problem with this man's paycheck(s)?
Its all farts in a wind storm.
Where is Seth Clayman ?
