Greenwich Hedge Fund Manager Strikes Back at Obama.....

Seekonk Republicans: Cliff Asness - Unafraid In Greenwich Connecticut

Clifford S. Asness
Managing and Founding Principal
AQR Capital Management, LLC

The President has just harshly castigated hedge fund managers for being unwilling to take his administration’s bid for their Chrysler bonds. He called them “speculators” who were “refusing to sacrifice like everyone else” and who wanted “to hold out for the prospect of an unjustified taxpayer-funded bailout.”

The responses of hedge fund managers have been, appropriately, outrage, but generally have been anonymous for fear of going on the record against a powerful President (an exception, though still in the form of a “group letter”, was the superb note from “The Committee of Chrysler Non-TARP Lenders” some of the points of which I echo here, and a relatively few firms, like Oppenheimer, that have publicly defended themselves). Furthermore, one by one the managers and banks are said to be caving to the President’s wishes out of justifiable fear.

I run an approximately twenty billion dollar money management firm that offers hedge funds as well as public mutual funds and unhedged traditional investments. My company is not involved in the Chrysler situation ...Seekonk Republicans - http://seekonkrepublicans.blogspot.com/

I do try to be more collaborative than didactic in our sessions, but you HAVE to read this article on Game Based Learning. Maybe it is just the Geek in me, or having sons who are dedicated gamers, but I do think we need to be open to the changes in the way children are learning.
