Are Hedge Funds Right For You?
(ContentDesk) August 30, 2005 -- Hedge Funds have been a hot investment lately. Once reserved for the very wealthy, hedge funds now have minimum investments as small as $10,000.

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.
