Some breakthrough work on the impact hedge funds have had on the real economy was posted this evening on DailyKos by vets74: 1,000 Companies Attacked -> 1,200,000 Jobs Destroyed. 

These attacks combine corrupt MSM lie campaigns with market dumps of "naked shorts" and counterfeit "phantom stock."

. . . . Statistical sampling and employment data for the largest 1,000 attacked companies show they suffered 1,200,000 extra/excess layoffs.

Throw on a macroeconomic multiplier effect...  this gets past 3,000,000 jobs dropped overall.

Now that the hedge funds are up in the game remember this . . .

Fascinating.

Steve Drobny’s “Inside the House of Money” is a brilliant and fascinating book. Drobny is a principal with Drobny Global Advisors, a firm that provides research services to global macro hedge funds. In this book Drobny presents 13 long and detailed interviews with global macro hedge funds managers, each representing a different trading style and approach.
