Customer Reviews

fantastic

I am lucky enough to have Mr. Crerend as one of my closest friends both inside and outside of the workplace. His book is a good one, especially for the new investor who is looking for advice and guidance from someone with years of experience in the field. Mr. Crerend has a unique point of view that makes his book a great one, and also made him successful.

Good primer and useful reference

Even though this book is 3 years old, it still serves as a very good primer to the hedge fund industry. Anyone wishing to gain a fundamental understanding of how hedge funds work and how they can be used will find the book easy to read. A lot of details are covered; e.g., a discussion about hedge fund indexes. Even for a professional like myself, I find the book to be a good reference every time I forget a concept or two.

The Education of a Speculator of Speculators

You will come away with a good understanding of the toughest game on earth - namely, the world of hedge fund investing. Mr. Crerend has done a terrific job of clearly addressing the important issues and putting a pen to them. He has the rare ability of combining pragmatism for today with optimism for tomorrow. If you plan to put a dime into hedge fund(s), your ROI on the $55.00 (less discount) you (must) invest right now will be off the chart.
