Instead of discussing how super hedge funds like those operated by Buffet, Soros, Tudor profit big, it is dedicated to uncommon means/stratgies (I cant agree with the author that 1) the ideas were new, 2) his adoption of the term hedge fund to simply all funds covered) including PIPE (private investment in public equities, reverse merger, IPOs - SPAC (the speciality acquisitions corp), Dutch (IPO) Auctions, closed end fund arbritrage, following Billionaires' micro-cap portfolio, activism, stocks just kicked out from indexes for "seasonal" factors, coins, paintings, NY taxi medallions and even delinquent credit card debt etc etc. Okay as a supplementary reading for ideas, but definitely not to be taken as a main course. For those who wanna read to learn more on hedge fund, "Hedgehogging" by Barton Biggs (2006) is a much suitable choice.
For those who have not read the author's first book "Trade like a Hedge Fund: 20 Successful Uncorrelated Strategies & Techniques to Winning Profits" yet, I strongly recommend you to read that first. Your liking of that is a strong indicator of your preference to this. In case you dislike that one, please give this a pass.

Wow, this is a really good book about learning what other market participants, such as hedge funds, are doing and where they are investing their money. As more hedge funds are created, the opportunities to invest in many areas are shrinking, so they have to find other ways to generate returns. This illustrates some of their new methods. For example, when banks are refusing to lend to some individuals and businesses, some hedge funds are stepping in to fill in the gap. Another example is PIPEs (Private Investments in Public Equities) where public companies, instead going through investment banking firms to raise more capital, simply go straight to hedge funds to negotiate terms, and as a result, close transactions much more quickly.
I absolutely loved this book. Even though I will not be using most of the techniques in the book, I still found it extremely educational. James Altucher is superb. I like most of his books. I would also recommend The Forever Portfolio.

It never fails, I go on vacation it hits the fan.( I'm writing this on July 28th 2007 after the DJIA was down 4.2% the previous week and the Russell 2000 dropped 4.9%.) Every single time. Well in chaos there is opportunity. Coincidentally as the markets melting down I'm reading "Super Cash" by James Altucher and I should share his QQQQ Crash Revisited chapter; its revisited from his previous book, "Trade Like a Hedge Fund". In short it states that most of the time, in fact all the time from his sample timeframe of June 2003 - April 15th 2005 when the Q's drop over 1.5 standard deviations below the 10 day moving average (if you don't get that - it happened last week) it bounces - 55 of the last 55 times (at least short term.) This is an over simplification but it basically says to "buy the panic"
If you take the NASDAQ 100 stock from Jan 1 1999 to Dec 31 2004 their were 3715 instances of this occurring (stocks dropping 1.5 standard deviations below their 10 day moving average) and if you bought them on the next morning and held until they were profitable or 20 days - whichever happened first, you would have made money on 3,518 of them or 94.7% turning $1 million into about $9 million if you traded all of them and used 5% of the equity on each trade. The book is good and I recommend it! It helps you learn to go against the crowd.
