Pdf?

interesting that the address for Solengo in Calgary is near a strip mall a fair ways out from the city centre (ie. where the financial energy centre is located).

This is the building in Cowtown.

Keeping a low profile, I see.

nothing but the best for the boys

Keeping a low profile does not (normally) involve driving a Bentley around Calgary.

Kind of like having the jet take you from the Upper East Side to Wall St. every morning.

It's a double thumbs up for dealbreaker.com for posting the investment prospectus/brochure despite pressure from Solengo.

In a zero sum game for futures/derivative trading its truly amazing that (1) anyone would pay the fees demanded, and (2) invest substantial amounts of money in someone who lost $6bn, (3) invest money with traders who have limited experience in crude and refined products, (4) and have the right, but certainly not the skill to trade other commodities such as metals.

The term hedge fund is a misnomer in this case, since they will make all their money with directional bets in underlying prices and or volatility. The initial speculation was that the Arabs were big backers of Solengo. But, I don't think they are that foolish, since there are other hedge funds that have a proven track record and where the fund manager have a substantial amount of net worth tied to the success of the fund.

Given the large universe of energy funds available, why would anyone select them? It really borders on the realm of insanity.

Aside from the fact that their new digs looks like a more appropriate office for a J.T. Marlin-style outfit, that might have been all they could get. Calgary's office vacancy is hovering at all-time lows, no matter how much money you throw at the building managers.

hammer, you are wrong on SEVERAL accounts.

First of all, many derivatives are NOT a zero-sum game. With dynamic hedging it is possible for both sides in a derivatives transaction to make a profit.

Secondly, trading in futures and other derivatives does not imply directional bets. It is also possible to take relative value bets (such as the kind of bet that led to Amaranth's collapse). In volatility trading you are usually making relative bets (e.g. realized vs implied volatility / dispersion) and not directional bets. That being said, ANY trade is a directional bet on SOME market value.

FInally, regarding Non-Performing Arabs (NPAs), they are stupid enough to invest in just about anything. The trick is that you have to be friends with them. I have trouble seeing how a hedgie living in Calagary could have made those kinds of connections. So while you are right that Solegno probably ISN'T backed by NPAs, you have the wrong reasons for thinking so.

Execellent job Carney on posting and bringing this to light.
Keep up th good work and maybe Hunter will crawl back into his rathole.

LMS: Levin posted it-- she's the rebel.

Credit where credit is due. Bess did post it.

They'll probably both go to prison, though, maybe even the same cell. Hope you guys enjoy each other's company!

I wish I could put money in this fund.He will do great.He is a great trader.Now that his ego has been checked his best days are ahead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

JC: "Credit where credit is due. Bess did post it."

Classic! Looks as though Carney is trying to hang Levin out to dry.

As this case heats up I bet he's telling her that he supports her 110% and is standing right behind her--a few hundred miles behind her in another country, but he's behind her nonetheless.

You guys crack me up.

We stand together. Have no doubt.

"First of all, many derivatives are NOT a zero-sum game. With dynamic hedging it is possible for both sides in a derivatives transaction to make a profit."

Cumulatively, they're still zero sum! The dynamic hedger is simply passing his loss to the flat price market (the other side of his dynamic hedges...) Most of the natural gas market is speculative, and a lot of these funds are really just trading with one another.

One could argue that by adding liquidity, they're helping to smooth cashflows, so their "dealers spread" is earned and value additive. But no one takes positions like Amaranth's as a market maker.

brochure appears to have been written by spy magazine writers....sure this isn't a joke?....internet bubble echo?....offering terms beyond arrogance...this must be a hoax

What happened to the brochure???

I can only see 8 pictures of puppies

Please, if anyone can send me the brochure to elikhom@yahoo.com it would be greatly appreciated

I guess the Dealbreaker team realized that posting the brochure was a violation of copyright law.

Yes. Expect JC and BL to start posting from an "undisclosed location." I hear Brazil is pretty nice this time of year.

I think Brazil has extradition treaties in place. It will have to be Israel.

If they go to Namibia, they can hobnob with fellow outlaw Kobi Alexander.
