This isn't true any more - a lot of funds now offer the small investor the opportunity to invest in hedge funds.

i don't know, obviously there are real stars who have really performed and made themselves and their clients fabulous dough. but there can't be that many stars, and the whole thing has long since started to sound like the latest get-richer-quicker.

investing seems to be one of those pursuits where corny indie fuXor contrariness may be a GOOD thing -- if loads of financial blabbermouths are talking about something (like hedge funds, or overseas markets), then it's a good thing to be VERY CAUTIOUS.
personally, i plan on stashing lotsa cash in a money market the next few months (mainly for reasons that have nothing to do w/ market volatility, though that appears to be serendipitous). and if my funds drop, say, 10%, them shits is also getting converted to money markets.

Jeff Roberts, who runs a real-estate appraisal company in Asheville, North Carolina, says he met Meyer in 1989, while the two were at First Union. They became friends after Meyer, wearing jeans and a T-shirt, turned up one day in a Ford pickup to give Roberts a lift. A 12-pack of Budweiser rested on the front seat. Roberts says he’s invested several hundred thousand dollars and Meyer has been great.
