Houston, TX; New York, NY (ContentDesk) May 15, 2006 -- The Energy Hedge Fund Center, LLC (EHFC, www.energyhedgefunds.com) is now tracking over 500 hedge funds that have a substantial energy or environmental content in its Directory of Energy Hedge Funds. The number of energy hedge funds has steadily grown over the last 24-months as investor appetite for commodities generally and energy commodities specifically, has soared.

We are continuing to see more new funds in formation and many more in commodity trading this spring. It augurs well for a sustained ramping up of more new energy hedge fund managers, said Peter C.

THE BIG SECRET THE MUTUAL FUNDS DON?T WANT YOU TO KNOW?INDEXING!
Non-indexed mutual funds try to keep it secret that actively managed mutual very funds rarely do better stock market indexes. The higher fees of the managed funds really make it hard for these funds to out compete indexed funds. Smart financial journalists occasionally rat out fund managers for not educating the public in this regard. When this happens the mutual fund managers make a feeble attempt at self defense by pointing to something called the 5% rule. This rule says that for a fund to market itself as diversified it cannot have more than 5% of 75% of the funds total assets in a single stock.
In other words, a fund can have 25% of its holdings in a single stock, but the remaining 75% must follow the 5% rule. The 5% rule was created by the Investment Company Act Requirement. Fund managers claim that this hampers their performance instead of admitting that they are in the business just to clip you for high fees while the mutual fund under-performs the general market. The truth...

It's fun and exciting until the darn thing goes off.A D-bomb explosion would have the same impact on the global financialmarket, as an H-bomb would have denoted over Salt Lake City. The resultwould be a multi-century wasteland after the explosion.
A D-bomb explosionmeans that our Civilization will be facing a new multi-century Dark Age.The D-bomb is the Derivatives Market. In theory, derivatives are balancedrisk investments that allow Hedge Funds, banks, insurance companies andothers to profit from the spread created by the bet. The three designproblems with D-bombs are that the risk is usually an either or option thatdoesn't factor in a third alternative. Many bundled derivatives havecomponents that don't represent outside financial instruments that mighthave value after a D-bomb explosion....
