Times Online – The esteem of John Waples for the hedge funds (“Get used to volatility: the hedgies are in control”, last week) was not very sound financial journalism.
Who else but these grossly leveraged entities would have the capital or the appetite for the short-selling that we have seen during the course of this economic turmoil?
Waples should turn his investigative attention to our so-called regulators who, with every conceivable avenue of inspection available to them, have failed to track down the City insider traders who have made millions from this financial system.
