Thanks Rich. What do you personally own? Does your firm make you invest in your own fund or do they prevent it? Do you own any alternative investments that are not funds?

Larry,

TFS' internal policies currently require that at least 50% of each of the TFS owners' liquid assets is invested in the hedge funds and mutual funds managed by TFS. Currently, I have much more than that in our funds.

I currently do not invest in any alternatives besides those managed by TFS.

By the way, what is a Carnival of Investing?

Rich

Carnivals are a grouping of blogs authors have written on the same subject. There are blog carnivals all over the web. In the Carnival of Investing, all of the authors submit their favorite blog of the week to a central location. The host organizes them, adds commentary if he wishes and posts links to all the blogs.

Carnivals allow people interested in a subject to find alot of information and opinion about it quickly in one location.
