My Hedge Fund versus Your Hedge Fund
August 1st, 2007
I started My Hedge Fund today. Using Investopedia’s Simulator game, I’ve started my own competition called “My Hedge Fund for Nabloid dot Com“. Guess what? Everyone is invited to join. Prove your investing skills! If you’re already signed up for Investopedia’s simulator game you can easily join my competition as well. The competition uses the basic settings and allows shorting, options trading and trading on margin as well as all the basics. Its okay if no one else joins, I’m using it to track My Hedge Fund anyways, so it isn’t necessarily a competition (unless some people join and make it so).
I haven’t had a chance to sit down and purchase the stocks/options I want yet, but I will be over time. I decided to allow both US and CND investing, but Investopedia’s US+CND settings are really odd and treats it like two separate accounts in the same portfolio. You will start with $1,000,000 US and $1,000,000 CND as a result. What can you do with $2 million?
Do you have what it takes to run a hedge fund? Think you can beat me, the market and the best hedge fund managers in the world? Prove it. Join the competition! Or you can just watch my results. Your choice. I just hope My Hedge Fund gets off to a better start than My Mutual Fund did.

Hi Nabloid,
Perhaps you might want to replicate your hedge fund trades to our site as well? We have a hedge fund simulator that you might want to consider trying out.
You seem to understand the power of options, and our platform allows you to trade options and build powerful combinations using stocks and various long/short option legs (e.g. spreads, covered calls, collars, butterflies and even condors). This should allow you to trade closer to a real hedge fund - hedge the markets and get absolute returns.
Happy Investing!
